Somer Nights Cruise In

Pauline and Brent came over early with their little dogs. Linda and Brent were wanting to go to Somerset to walk through the town and look at the hot rods and custom cars that cruise in on the fourth Saturday of each month during the summer. We left home a little after 10 AM and drove the HHR to Somerset. By the time we made it to highway 27, everyone was ready to eat, so I picked a place called the 'Golden Corral', that we had never ate at before, and we went inside. It was a buffet type restaurant, so everyone picked out their drinks and then we were seated. The waitresses brought empty plates and told us to go help our selves to whatever we wanted at the food bars. There were quite a lot of choices, and all of us ate till we were too full. After we left, Linda and Stacey were even complaining about their 'bellies hurting' from too much food in them. We then went to a couple of furniture stores and looked through those places, then to Paul's Discount, Big Lots and a few other odd shops. Around 4 PM, we drove to the center of town and parked a couple blocks off the town square. The roads were blocked off and all sorts of cars were angle parked along the streets and in most of the business' parking lots. We walked through the town streets looking at the cars and checking out even closer some of the nicer cars.
   
   
   
   
   
After walking around the center section of town for over an hour, we had made it back to our parked HHR just as it was beginning to sprinkle rain. We all loaded inside, I turned the car around in the street and we headed for the parkway towards home. We hadn't went a mile when it began to pour down rain and Pauline remarked about how we were lucky to have made it around the town and back to the car just in time to avoid getting soaked. As we drove towards home we went through several more rain showers and stopped in Columbia at the grocery store. Then on to the house where Pauline and Linda fixed us BLTs for supper, after which, we watched TV the rest of the evening.
