Mosaic Monday ~ Critters

It's time for Modaic Monday over at The Little Red House 
with Mary as our Hostess.
Thank for having this each week Mary, it is such fun to see everyone's
take on this.

I've been receiving much flack from certain beings at my house.....
 for not showing them off.  
hmmmm...

So without further adieu here are some of my furry, feathery,
and scaly friends in Mosaic form.
:~)


Oh and by the way,
I'm sorry but I had to add the word verification thingy back on...
way too many spamy comments.

Second Installment....

.....of our visit to the Ag Museum.


From the parking lot, this big guy welcomes you..
or maybe makes you second guess going in! 


There were lots of older and very much older cars to see.
My Dad had a truck that looked very much like this one


Can you say Bel Air??
I drove one like this my Senior year of High School!
NO, it was not new at the time. lol


Fresh sausage anyone?


The proprietor made this
'Solar Earth Dryer'
LOL


REO Speedwagon...
No not the band!


These next two pictures you really need to enlarge.
You won't believe the things this oldie has been 'embellished' with!




He's got old Tractors too.


Flanders?


Look at those tires!




Lots of eye candy for the car enthusiast here!


Vrroom vrroom!


More to come.....

A Funny Thing Happened on the way to.....

......our last stop.
While waiting to turn left, I was rear ended.
Yup, my first accident EVER!
No one was hurt, thank God!
Just shook up.

We had a nice motorcyclist/witness (Thanks, Ray!) stop
and provide a statement.
By the way the lady that hit me was on her cell...of course!
All has been taken care of and I already have my Town & Country back. Yes!

~*~*~*~*~*~*

Our last stop was a visit at The Merced Agricultural Museum.
We really didn't know what to expect....
figured cases with old ag equipment, early implements, etc.
Well, let me tell you we were in for a treat!

Now I love anything old. The rustier the better.
Not sure why, maybe it's the history
or the stories it could tell if it could talk.

This place was so interesting...it reminded me of my parents farm.
Every nook and cranny had something to see.
It is owned and operated by a sweet older man
It is his collection...and what a collection.

I'm going to go through this in several posts,
otherwise it would be way too long!

The first building had some neat stuff...
but no ag items....


a tellie...


the smallest Singer I've ever seen.


we were ohhing and ahhing all over the place!
Check out this sweet doll buggy



remember these?? My parents had one when I was little.
I remember sitting and watching it...

oh for about 5 mins. it moved so s l o w.


The we started to see some umm...interesting? things


need a bath?


a perm??



and don't forget a mani!


and with that I will leave you to ponder what I will show you next ;~)
Be sure to click on the photos to make the bigger
so you can see the full extent of these treasures.
