Meet Kelsey

We adopted Cat from a shelter, she is 9 years old, declawed and likes to lay on your lap. She has a funny Meow like she has a sore throat. She doesn't like other cats, dogs, or kids, but likes people! She has arthritis and takes a supplement everyday. She gets around just fine.


Since she has had her name Kelsey for a long time I didn't want to change it. Although to celebrate her new lease on life I added Bell to here name!
So I call her KelseyBell



You can read more about her past here-

Here Is Her Story
Kelsey was going to be put to sleep because her family couldn't deal with her urinary tract infection. A Lab Tech was at the vets that day and halted the euthanization telling about a shelter that would take her. The lab tech called the shelter and was treated for her UTI and was living at he shelter for about 4 months.

Our Kentucky Drive

Friday around 4pm we left for our trip to Kentucky to pick up the car.
As the sunsets in PA.
After we picked up the car, we stopped to adjust the tie down straps at this barn.

The daylight was ending with some sunlight, the golden hour for photography!

Our 1955 Packard Clipper Custom

My husband, was born in 1955 and this year he turns 55 so what more of a reason do you need to buy one? Well, it started with Josh finding one on ebay, and with some investigation, e-mails and a phone call we decided to bid on it and we won the bid! I was hesitant to buy something like this through ebay, but the seller said if we didn't like it we didn't have to buy it. So our adventure to Paintsville, KY began Friday night, arrived at the guys business around 10am Saturday morning after an overnight stay in Elkview, WV.

Dave and the man we bought it from.

On the road, my view of the trip! dirty mirror!

We stopped briefly to check and readjust the tie downs. Also there was a really neat barn I took some photos of, I will show other photos of scenery at another time.




Close-up of the hood ornament, the Packard emblem is not to be there, it should be a Clipper emblem.


My view again with a clean mirror!!


Later, much later as the sun was setting and the car was getting dirty from the snow and slush on the roads.






The trip to the car wash!




















Josh meet us at the car wash.







At home at last! Arrived home around 9:30 pm Saturday night!



















Oh and one last thing, If you don't know our last name is
Packard
