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

Taken outside my daughters house in western Oregon, where the Annas hummingbirds winter.
This little female was taking a break in the evergreen photinia hedge.
You come on over for the black-eyed peas. There's a place waiting for you at the table.
Amazing capture, Pamela.

Happy New Year!!
Yes, there were not many visitors at all. At one point I was taking a picture of the back of Mt. Vernon and some people were about to be in my shot and my oldest ran into it. He didn't have time to get out of it before they were in it, so he hid behind the pillar...LOL!! Pretty quick thinking for a 5 year old!!
ours have left OKLA.....until Spring.
Amazing.
Happy New Year!
I'm beginning to wonder if I should add a copyright to my photos... I've noticed a few others doing that of late.
