Spruil Ave to Meeting St over the bridge to Isle of Palms. I did three of my Navy years out of Charleston. That bridge was barely wide enough for my 66 Caprice!

The wife was just going through old photo albums and making new ones for the kids. She handed me this picture that has her 76 Nova in the driveway (that's my justification for posting this). My father-in-law has sadly been long passed but those blond munchkins are now 28 and the one on the right has recently made me a "G Pop".
Where does the time go?


yes, that is a little pink house.
