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...

We have a cat in our house. First time for an indoor cat. He's adorable but if I leave my bedroom door open he sits at my head all night long purring in my face. If I shut the door he sits outside and whines all night. ARghagah!
dont let Rosie see this!
I loved the story about your aunt fern, how nice to spend that time with her. Also the story from your dad was great. I love the history.
I've also missed kailani, I'm worried about her. Going to try and e-mail.
Love the cat picture and the snow day looked fun, even if it was freezing cold.
Take care!

Masago Please Haiku my cat!!!
Your are right Marnie, there is something snuggly about a cat but this one snuggles at her whims and not at ours.
I miss my dog!
Anyway, just said I wish that cat would cuddle up to me like that when I come to visit. Then again, I don't pass out in 2.5 like dad does. He probably moves around less than me. LOL
Alert Rosie.
