Goodbye Ruby Tuesday!

Sentimental moments....

Many years ago, when I lived in Holland, I got my hands on a 1988 Austin Mini for about $700+/-. I have to be honest, that was the greatest little car anyone could dream of having. I named my car Ruby Tuesday, because... well, she was red, and I got her on Tuesday!

Now I'm back in Texas, and glad to be home, but Goodbye Ruby Tuesday from the Rolling Stones just came on the radio, and made me cry, happy tears, I admit!

I'm done with my sentimental soap box!

Although it's a Stones cover, Melanie's version is also well known. If you haven't heard it before, give it a listen....

I love that place, especially their salad bar!

I always like Melanie Safka's version better... she's an awesome "hippy" singer, and we have many of her albums here!

I too thought that they were going out of business. We do Mondays there for lunch. Soup and salad for everyone. Broccoli and cheese.

We still have one Ruby Tuesday left up the street from us 1/2 mile. Knock the one down at the Oak Park mall, and built, a Chick flia-A there. down the street from the Smart Nationals Host Hotel.
