An Old Cold Spot
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night. He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988. That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it. Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer. My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked. The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer. It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976. I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties. My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date. Here is a close up of the make and model that

They all end up in rehab.

I just caught up on your blog again. SO enjoyable. Curlymop and Buttercup sound so genuine. I wonder what Curlymop expected to find in the cup? A fan?
And as for your bucket list, WOW. I would enjoy doing all of those, EVEN the storm chasing. I LOVE watching storms, especially thunder and lightning. As long as they let me wear a diaper while we are chasing tornadoes, I'm cool. Aurora Borealis is the love of my life! I saw the northern lights in Yellowstone when the power went out at a youth dance and we all went into the parking lot and there they were. Incredible! I've wanted to go see them up close ever since. My island choice is Bora Bora. A friend was from there and she says the sand is SO white that if she put it in the sugar bowl you WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE. Her boss didn't believe her so she replaced his sugar with bora bora sand and fooled the whole office. ha! The whale one would be cool, but for me would be replaced by the galapagos islands so I could see my friends the tortoises. The giant ones.
OK. This comment is WAY too long and don't I know it? yes I do. Love your blog, as per usual!
umm, birds of prey are my favorite birds....hint hint
well, we are under a couple inches of ice, I think Ill scatter some sweetfeed (horsefeed that Freddie eats) for the little birdies here in the Res, they are starving.
Always an education here at your place, PamelaJamela.
Great photo.
Yeah. That's right. It's the camera's fault.
