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

and Meatloaf wrote a song about that one, 'objects in the rear view mirror seem a little closer than the are.........
What are you doing in Seattle? If you had waited a week, we could have gotten together.
(than they appear :) :) )
WOW! that last photo is gorgeous!
xo
swampwitch: We were in Seattle to lay aunt Pat to rest. A cremation allows for the memorial service to be held at everyone's convenience. So it was this weekend.
WT: indeed -- ! I love these pictures of me the best.
cooper: I was in the passenger seat.
First two pix were from the rear view
I missed the picture of the MOON when I was driving. A moon from a motorcyclist mama.
mjd: yes I unzoomed (or whatever you call it)
gaynor: I'd love to come over there an take pictures!!
Barngoddess: Forest fires adding to the intense color. No photoshopping at all!
Susie: yes we were headed east towards home. I'm suprised that our camera can take a photo at 70 mph
Beautiful pictures. The sun one is amazing.
Every time I hear that sentence, I think of Jurassic Park.
Kailani: It was in the 70's in Seattle - and you can't beat that. It got warmer and warmer as we drove east
Amanda: near the turn off to Goldendale. How's that for ironic
bs: accidental photographer. TRUTH.
Whipper: like Kila said Midnight. As soon as that clock ticks past 11:59:59 we're starting a new day
Kila: Jurasic Park scared the bejedins out of me so I never watched any more
Hayden: The greatest shots are the ones you least expect to turn out
Debbie: No I was in the passenger seat at 70 mph
TWPintheG: Post them anyway. There must have been something in the air this weekend. I'm wondering if it had something to do with looking back...as we were coming home from a funeral.
beatiful pics;)
LOVE them.
Hugs,
Sue
