HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM ARIZONA!

LOl of course it's 2019 in Arizona! I just haven't had time to concentrate on blogging (yet) and I wanted to stop in and say Happy New Year to all my ActiveRain friends! Hope that you're all off to a great jump start to 2019. We sure are...been much busier with clients this year already compared to other new year starts. And it's all good. Cheers!

So why did I think about what year it was? Because the last week or so there have been A LOT of really cool old cars on the roads. That means it's Barrett-Jackson Car Auction Time in Scottsdale! If you've never had an opportunity to go to the auction maybe this could be the year! It's fun just looking at the cars and getting into the excitement of the auction! Now I don't think I'll be buying a car this year, but then, if a nice, bright shinny yellow car shows up I just might!

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM ARIZONA!

Anna & Gary 'Banana"

Of course, Anna, it is only appropriate for the top banana to have a banana car.

While thinking of you in your bright shiny yellow car, I was thinking of a dream I had. Once when asked if I could do anything else, I replied, "I'd like to drive the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile." If it shows up at your carshow, I'm outta here!

Anna, Happy New Year to you as well. One of my college roommates is a Chiropractor in Mesa AZ and he told me about this even a while back... bought and sold some cars there over the years.... I just love looking at the shiny toys, Endre

Happy New Year to you too, Anna. We miss you, but it's good to hear you're starting 2019 with abundance. As for the classic cars, we're in search of a cream colored classic old pick up truck...one of those with the soft rounded lines and a wood slat short bed in back. It would pair well with our farmstead lifestyle...and Bernie needs a pickup every now and again.

Well, Anna Banana Kruchten CRB, CRS 602-380-4886, I have been following the trail of the posts looking for how your sparkling Christmas tree 2018 turned out in the end. Perhaps I have missed the photo...but I did get to read a number of your posts which I thoroughly enjoyed.
