On this rainy Saturday morning, we met at the Bob Evans Restaurant on Morris Bridge Road. Nancy showed up at 10:30 with the maps. Yeah, the maps didn't match the GPS in the car, but we still traveled on and the distance was actually shorter to Winter haven. The comment was "just like homecomng for Newsome High School" last fall. Rain before we got there. Rain all during the ride. Rain during lunch, and more rain travelling to Jerry and Vilawan's beautiful house for yummy desserts. We had 20 members and 2 guests who were here from Austria to visit Betty G. We had 12 cars that included some everyday cars - like Arnaldo's cute Turbo Mini Cooper. John and Frances had their new 2015 Crystal Red coupe and Frank G's bright yellow 2015 was there to make it a pair of spankin' new Vettes. Many thanks to Vilawan for suggesting this event. Everyone enjoyed the feast. See ya on the next trip . . . .
