My Life Could Be A Country Song: You don't look a day over "fast cars" and freedom....

Early this morning we picked up Doug and Darlene (Rowe) and headed for Leesburg and the weekly Saturday market in the square. We took a stroll up and down the village streets looking at the many scarecrows/mannequins.....There were so many good ones but I only included some of my favorites.

This one was "The Little Old Lady who was not afraid of anything".....one of the elementary school classes.....

This was the contribution of the Eustis Garden Club.......

The "Headless Horseman".....

My very favorite was created by the local fire department......

Always one of my stops, as Emma still loves her American Girl dolls. This year we bought a new dress for "Bitty Baby" to wear home from the "Doll Hospital". She has to be shipped there to fix her broken arm!!

They have music in the square every Saturday.....today it was the "Alabama Cowboy"......

Lots of stands.....

Our first lunch at Cracker Barrel.....I am sure there will be many more when Gene and Terry return. Their cars automatically turn into a Cracker Barrel parking lot!!!

We came home for a few hours; did some laundry, cooked dinner and headed for Eustis. Before we did the Car Cruise-in, we did the nature walk along the lake. No alligator sightings today but we did capture a shot of this Egret......The weather was perfect with a warm breeze coming off the lake and a beautiful sunset.

We try and do these cruise-ins as often as we can because they always have such neat cars there. I would love to have this "Woody"....

I am not sure what this was....no sign, and the owner wasn't around.

I saw this little kid from a distance and I am thinking...."OH NO...he is going to be in big trouble leaning against that car. Got up close and it was one of those stuffed dolls....

Here was the original car and a pictorial of the progress.....

And the finished product....a beauty!

Now there's a "caddy".....

This is one of Darlene's and my favorite stores....we can't pass it without stopping in. Checkout the cat in the window. He lives in the store and is beyond spoiled. If he's not in the window he is right on the counter by the cash register, just purring away.

The store is huge and the whole thing looks like this......you can't really tell in the picture but everything is SO WELL displayed, and so color coordinated.

And of course our last stop is always Strawberries .....I had ONE dip of sugar free, low fat Butter Pecan and it was amazingly good. You would never suspect it was "legal"......
