Joyce Daze was bittersweet this year. We had just lost our Vinnie 3 days prior and we were somewhat in disbelief. We managed to facilitate an impromptu memorial for him with help from his sisters and nephew. Vinnie's nephew drove Vinnie's Beetle as lead car for our club in the parade and Vinnie's sister made a sign. Francie and Annie made black bows for the front of each car. Vinnie's family appreciated it very much.
It was a warm day with lots of low clouds that never really burned off, but as long as it's not raining, it's all good. Hanging out before the parade was fun and Francie provided snacks and beverages for us. We had a great turnout and we won Best of Show!

Motoring home after the parade. This sign cracks me up and I've always wanted to get a picture of it but it's so easy to drive right past it. I was ready this time! Francie's car is a nice touch too. I don't think this sign is very effective because it's been up for a long time. Unless he keeps going through wives and keeps putting the sign back up........however, he does have a boat, so really, who needs a wife?
