"Rock Island" The Music Man (opening scene)

Here's another great movie clip

From The Music Man

Volkswagen Feeling Carefree Commercial | VW USA

In the 1980's this was a great song, I was at Kent State and we all like the song and the video was very entertaining. Just like the "Singing In The Rain" commercial for that other Volkswagen, this is another great commercial. The video is mixed with new stuff not in the original video and the ending is very cute. Great commercial!

Hickory Apple Festival

Today was the Hickory Apple Festival.  It was pretty big.  We had to park 2 miles away and a shuttle took us to the festival which was at a volunteer fire department.

It was over 80 degrees.  There were signs selling hot chocolate, but I'm sure none sold.  There was also a stand that cooked outdoor bean soup, with home made bread- I guess it's a "thing" in Hickory but no one was buying soup when it was so warm and humid.  I bet it's usually much colder and that stuff sells well.

This is inside the fire hall.  That sign is up there all the time, it just happens to be October and the fesival is going on!

This nice guy had a bunch of birds.  He let the birds interact with the kids.  Luke loves all animals and he loved holding the birds.

A bird on his head and a bird on his finger.

3 Birds!

A few pictures to show the size of the festival

This was on our house when we got home

I added these next 2 later-- they should be before the bug.  Everyone eating their apple and ice cream desset.

Some random older gentleman-- he just seemed so perfect in this small town festival enjoying his Italian sausage and the delicious looking coke. 

Ok, one more--- this funny one of Adam eating his sausage!

Artsy and Random

Here are some random pictures.

I'm rediscovering my camera and trying to figure out

how to take great pictures

Cool commercial- the movie was on today.  I shared this once before.  There is another GREAT VW commercial that's on the tv now (this commercial was from a few years ago) that I plan on putting up in a few days.
