Eye-Catching Car

I haven’t worked on the car for awhile. It’s been raining a lot here in Austin, but I guess the car breaking down before Vegas has impacted my work ethic.

The car and I just got back from a trip to Oklahoma for my great-grandmother’s 95th birthday. That’s the first time my family has seen the car in person. My grandfather thinks I have a lot of time on my hands. It’s funny because his mother made a lot of art work that was essentially the same thing I’m doing. Only her’s were usually different color seeds glued onto wood and mine is eyes on metal. One of my second cousins (my mom’s cousin, so that should be my second cousin, right?), said the car was eye-catching.

After the birthday party in Sterling, we went to “the big city” for a few days. While in Lawton, the car got a lot of attention with several people clicking photos on their cell phones.

The car is fixed (and has been for awhile.) Thanks to Sara, who took these photos from our office window.
