Yesterday Tall Husband and I attended the 6th Annual Classy Chassis Concours d'Elegance, benefiting Shriners Hospitals for Children -Houston. The 2009 Classy Chassis event's featured marques were Ferrari and Packard. There were 123 entries according to the event catalog. It was a car enthusiast's dream. I fell in love with a little 1957 Porsche Speedster in champagne yellow. Fortunately, Tall Husband is still enthralled with his new red Porsche Cayman; though, I did get nervous when he enquired about the 2009 Bugatti (1.6 million U.S.D. for that baby.)

Come back tomorrow to feast your eyes on more classic cars.

A big Thank you to the event organizers, sponsors and car owners for a wonderful show.

First Saturday: June

Antique Bunnies, Grace Heart Antiques, Houston, Texas; first bunnies to arrive at The Bunny Bungalow

Tall Husband is, at this moment, planting large pots of white hydrangeas for the front walk of the Bungalow. He is also putting in a watering system for each of the large pots. For my part, I'm staying out of his way.

Today is First Saturday, a big day in the Heights. As we are invited to a good friend's surprise birthday party tonight, I will not be covering the Heights events, but will probably have news from the party, as there will be physicians, musicians, actors and other interesting guests there.

We will attend an antique/classic car show tomorrow. I love old cars, so look for some great shots on Monday's blog.
