Garden Party Wrap-up
Sunday July25, 2010
A suggestion to anyone planning a garden wedding. Have it on the same day Jim Johnson has his Garden Party. Regardless of the weather prediction, the day will be perfect. This guy has connections with the weather gods.

We met at the Rockland Park and Ride and the day could not have been more perfect. Over 20 cars showed up to cruise and then feast. Jim always takes us on the back tree lined roads, dotted with beautiful homes, great views and the twists and turns that make driving a Corvette so much fun. He had perfect turn by turn directions for the navigators. We all left together and arrived together, a testament to Jim’s leadership, the quality of the directions or luck. Maybe it was a bit of all three.

After our tour of Norwell, Scituate, Hingham and Cohasset we wound our way to Jim’s home and beautiful back yard. For those that have never been to Jim’s home, the grounds are both an inspiration and a revelation as to how much work your own needs.

No one ever leaves an SSCC event hungry. We started with steak tips, shrimp, plenty of munchies and burgers and hotdogs provided by Jim. All the side dishes and deserts were brought by the members. Between bites, everyone got caught up on vacations, new cars, what we’ve been doing, what we are planning for the rest of the summer and of course lots of car talk. We all send our warmest thanks to Jim for his hospitality and sharing his beautiful home with us. More photos from the Garden Party are here.

Pool Party Wrap-up
Sunday July11, 2010 at Steve and Melissa’s
What a great day for a pool party. The weather was hot and sunny and the pool, a sparking blue just beckoning all to jump in.

There were 35 members and guests most of them ready for a swim. I didn’t bring my bathing suit but Roy did and he jumped right in. It was great to see all the guys and gals having fun in the pool. All that was missing was the sound of camp songs to complete the picture. Fun. fun, fun that’s what it’s all about.

Steve and Melissa’s yard is just a perfect setting for summer fun. It felt like being at a fine resort. Of course the food and drinks they provided was over the top. Steve took many pictures of the bathing beauties and elite men of SSCC dressed in their finest bathing attire. The sight was something else. President Terry in his straw hat looked like Indiana Jones himself.

It was so great to have Rita and Joe with us. They looked great in their new 2002 blue roadster. Joe says he is feeling much better. Mal took the prize for best looking diva in her unique beach wear.

Jack and Joanne Horigan attended and it was great to see them. Jack had surgery a few weeks ago and he says he is feeling great. We all enjoyed a fun day. Everything was over he top, another successful activity of SSCC. Thank you Steve and Melissa for your hospitality. More Pool Party photos can be seen here.

New Corvette Inventory

Since you are alive enough to be reading this you are well aware of the trials and tribulations of General Motors. We all hear of the inventory of new cars sitting on dealer's lots. If you want to peruse the Corvette inventory, here is a website that you can use to search for new Corvettes. There are still unsold 2009 Vettes. You can search on colors, options, models, etc. As of this writing, in July of 2010, there were over 500 ZR-1s available. Get out the check book!

Read a good book lately?

Have you ever read a book that you thought others might enjoy. Here is your opportunity to share that tome with your fellow members. Now because this is a Corvette related site, the Web Site Advisory Council of the SSCC has deemed that the books be auto related. They did not give further guidance.

Remember those dreaded book reports for Ms./Mr. (insert your favorite English teacher’s name here) English class. Not only did you have to read the book but you had to write about it, proving that you actually did read it. Now is your chance to put that hard work you did in junior high to a good use. All we need is the title, author and a brief synopsis. And to keep the WSAC of the SSCC happy, include a bit about how it relates to cars. We will post your recommendation here on our reading list pages.
