Toes in The Water
Last week I wanted to live in the mountains.
This week I want to live at the beach. Even if it rains.
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

Where are we going next week?
I don't know if I could handle all the humidity near the beach. I thought it was terribly muggy today when we had 55% humidity!
Here's hugs for the day!!!!
And I loved the little kite story below! :)
But I'm not sure I could give up the mountains...sigh.
And Willowtree must be disappointed in his dog tooth. :-(
Have a good weekend, Pamela!
