The Love of My Life

      When I first saw this photo on a Twitter post, a few weeks ago, it had an instant impression on me. Maybe it was the pretty blonde girl who reminded me of my beautiful wife, or the young boy dressed as a pilot, who reminded me of my many years associated with the Air Force, but this photo really had an impression on me. 

     We were not quite that young when Jackie and I first met, but the US Air Force was a major part of our married life from the very beginning.  After I completed my active military service, I did many other things for a few years, then went back to work for the Air Force for many years.  All of those things make that photo seem like it could have represented the start of our own life. It reminds me that Jackie is “ The Love of My Life “  and our story could have started that way.

Picture Perfect

      If we all had our way, everything in this life would be perfect. Nothing out of place, everything running smoothly, and nothing to disturb our perfect existence. But, that’s not the world we live in. Every day there is something out of place, not going the way we would like it, and adding more stress to our lives.

     My obsessive, compulsive nature, makes this fact very apparent to me, and adds more stress to my daily life experiences. Though I do the best I can to keep my life in order, there is always something new coming up that needs to be worked on to correct some stressful situation.  The least I can do is keep my car nice and clean, at least something in my life can be “ picture perfect “.

Sunday Best

      Sunday has a tradition of bringing out the best in all of us, including our choice of favorite cars. Based on the popularity of the car photos that appear on Twitter in recent months, it would appear to me that the new Shelby Mustangs are well loved. In past years, it was the older Mustang models that were the most popular.

     My own personal favorite has always been the 1967 Shelby GT 500 models, but I do have to admit, the newest Shelby Mustangs are very good looking cars. Times have changed, and maybe the younger generation of car enthusiasts prefer the newer models.
