My First Honey


No not talking about a boyfriend LOL, was at the gas station the other day and attempting to tank up the Seville when a voice comes over the pump’s intercom, “that’s a pre-pay pump, sorry honey you will have to use the other one”.
I felt a little stupid but was quite pleased at the honey part. Perhaps I am finally convinced I am passing. But one can never be sure...
In other news, no joy on job front, this is what I wore to my last interview, Anne Klein jacket, very conservative. As you can also see my hair is getting longer but will need to be cut and dyed really soon so I can go back to bangs to more reliably hide my hair line.
Have continued to ride the Stingray for exercise, alternating between treadmill and walking.
The 1976 Buick Electra is home temporarily to have some work on the RH fender (dent from original owner to take out. Already removed and repaired the power antenna. A snapped cable, just amazed I put it back together and it worked, rather complex semi-automatic job that raises two inches or so when you turn on the radio then height    can be adjusted as you see fit with a button on the dash.
Things are ok at home but ok in a 1980s cold war sort of détente way.  The sooner I am back to work and able to afford a place of my own (parking garage with cot?) the better. Why do I feel like I am the one from the Politburo? 
Looking forward to seeing this movie at an upcoming festival. Yes that is April Ashley in the trailer, other pioneers include Bambi and Colette Berends.

Had a lovely day after Mother’s Day lunch with my mom. The first as mother and daughter, well it certainly felt a lot different for me this year. 
Last week I wrote about Paris in the late fifties, well my mother was there as a teenager on holiday with her parents. They managed to get caught in a riot and only escaped by ducking in an alley. Tried to find historical data on line but it was such a turbulant time in French politics, likely to do with Algeria.
Gotta run, promised to take my youngest and her best friend on a bike ride then ice cream.
Hugs,
April

  1. I've been reading your blog for some time and enjoy your writing. I also like looking at the cars. I'm a gear headette and every time I see an old car now I think of you. :)
    In fact, today I actually stopped and took a pic of a Mark VI. It was in good shape but it was nothing special. I just thought of you. I also see an El Dorado here in New Orleans that has to be a 75 Eldorado hard top.
    Take care of yourself.

  2. Thanks Caroline, I sold my 75 Eldo last summer. Almost made it all the way to New Orleans many years ago when "J" and I drove my 59 Cadillac on my Civil War and Elvis pilgrimage.

  3. The suit looks great - so does the hair. :c) And the shades *rock*!
