The "The Neighborhood Birthday Party Was A Hugh Success!" Story

It was an ordinary day.  Celebrating one of my neighbor's birthdays with a large gathering of neighborhood friends and a hugh cake.  Tom lives five doors away from my home on Rubia Place at Woodcrest Villa.  My wife, Carol, and I have lived in the neighborhood for almost a year now and have yet to meet all of our neighbors.

We thought that taking in a birthday party would be a good chance to meet a few more new neighbors. Tom was just turning 80 and was celebrating the event with the party and rides in a large limo as well as having one of his friends bring their immaculate 1931 Oldsmobile to his party for all the neighborhood to see.  

Tom's birthday cake!

The limo ride was OK, but the Olds was remarkable.  The place was so crowded that I couldn't even get an overalll photograph of the car, but I did spend time taking close-up photographs of the car.  The paint was immaculate and the chrome was polished to a remarkable luster.  Take a look at my photographs to see what you think of the car.  I was disappointed that the owner didn't offer rides, but I'm sure someone would have left some sort of mark on the beautiful paint job or interior.  After all...this is a retirement community and most of us are old!  After grabbing a bit to eat, Carol and I walked a couple of doors down Rubia and watched the Phillies!  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.  PS - I'm sorry I didn't get a photo of the entire car.  I just forgot...since I'm quickly catching up to Tom in age.
