Super fanstastic wonderful

OMG !!! Was that a HOOT!

::woohoo

We were brilliant.

Our choreographed routines could not have been more moving if they had been ......... erm, ... choreographed!


I put all my pics from the day's event (very raw) at photobucket, here:

Includes pictures of the odd bubbling that happened when Susie got backed into by the cell phone talking, big truck driving A-H at the car wash on Friday. (I feel your pain, Sister Smart).

The best part of the day for me was meeting all of you and realizing that we are all so different, but this one little car brought us together gave us a connection and a perfect day in the Oregon sunshine. They say that in life the joy is in the journey. Well, today's journey was very joyful.

Next event? Who knows, but we have to do this again.

PS - Susie, enjoy your one-on-one with Mr. Obama tonight. ;)

What a fun time

Everyone,

Really, really enjoyed meeting everyone and had a great time at the parade even though later this afternoon I think I was feeling a bit under the weather because of the heat. Don't know but it's way better now. All I can say is what a great group. I enjoyed every one of you.

We'll need to work on those "moves" if we ever drive a parade again. I think we made a hit with the spectators too. So many questions...

I have some pictures to post too once I figure out how.

We really need to do this again before the end of summer. Doesn't need to be a parade necessarily.

Rex :woohoo

Hey Rex!

There's a picture of your car (and the end of mine) on the willamettelive web page.

and this commentary: "These fully electric cars showed the Iris Festival their own "Act of Kindness" for the planet by doing slow speed donuts."

Looks like fun. Sure wish I could have made it. I'm moving back to Reno next month, so my "Little Orphan Annie" and I will become part of the NorCal group. I'm bummed that I won't get to meet any of you.

Dunerunner - was that you on the Beltline Monday morning at about 7:45?

Good luck to all & stay Smart!
