Distracted
Distracted. In the best possible way. A 70 degree afternoon in February.
We chased our shadows, visited the slide at the park, and let mommy go visit her friends.

Grandma and Curly Mop.
Kisses and hugs.
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

HOW in the world did you get 70 degrees when we're hovering in the SE in the 30s?

To the dump, to the dump to the dump dump dump, to the dump......... dump dump, and is to the tune of the William Tell Overture (the theme music for the Lone Ranger)
It's 20 degrees here today, and that's pretty warm for us lately. I just came in from cleaning the car inside and out--we were outside to enjoy the warm weather, LOL.
The wheelbarrow photo is very cute.
Okay, my bloglines told me that you had a story about Contessa. The story made me laugh. I came here to tell you that it made me laugh. Only the story is not here.
Huh?
Love the picture, love that curly mop got that special grandma time with you.
