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.

I spent all Tuesday with a fever and a throat thing. I was really bummed not to be able to go to class, especially in the middle of a painting. I am feeling better now.

Seems politeness won that day, because I really wanted to leave a comment saying "Don't get too excited, it ain't over yet!" But in the end said nothing.

Big snowstorm expected here in WI both Saturday and Sunday.
You know they're predicting a BLIZZARD for us tomorrow here on the prairies...
Sorry to hear you have a cold and sore throat and that snow looks like a Christmas card. Take care keep warm
I'm a freak...I like nature mixing it up like this, lol.
BEAUTIFUL!
I remember weather just like that one time when I was in Denver for a convention in March. I brought all "winter clothes"..the whole weekend it was in the low 70's! I woke Monday morning (flight home day) to a snow storm! It even grounded the plane for a number of hours! Go figure huh?!
