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

Don't think he'd stick around for THAT, though!
Is that weird?
By the way, I'm feeling your pain with having to retype the name and address--blogger makes me do it for every blogger comment I make. Grr.
Love his soft feathers!

You have captured an amazing picture.
I like the little bird's red smudge :)
This morning in the snow, I had 2 large woodpeckers playing out in my front yard. They were fun to watch.
Thats a great picture!
Have a great (belated) WW!

Thank you for your thoughts. I have an update of momma. Not much of one, thou. See ya in a few days. I'm back to the hospital.
I love your bucket list, too.
We have one that sort of looks like that in our back yard. He/she killed a palm tree in my yard by pecking a hole at the base of the top where the palm fronds sprout. I loved that tree, but didn't mind, 'cause the bird was even cooler to watch.
I keep stopping by to get my pamela fix....
I DO still like the photo though!
Hope your weekend is treating you well.
