Wow and I do know a lot of parrots can live that long too. I have a friend who has Lorakeets and she keeps trying to talk me into getting one. I won't of course, but they are such sweet birds. Your daughter took a fantastic picture.
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...
Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo.

Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio...
Please join me next Monday as I host this weeks Fun. The subject: Show me in pictures or tell me in words what defines the place where you live. I want to leave the interpretation open to include any possibility. It could be a geographical phenomenon. For instance, when I was a child, the people who lived on our sloping hill could view the Olympic Mountain to the northwest and the majestic Mt. Rainier to the south east. It could be a man made monstrosity. Do you come home from a trip and the shadow of a skyscraper beckons you. Has the wind blowing from the feed lot given your small town a dusty or smelly reputation? Is there a college or university close by that seasonally changes the way your world operates? Or maybe a winter influx of retired snowbirds? Could it be the house at the left turn to the grocery store has turned into a junk yard? Did a famous person put your town on the map? Is there something about your neighborhood that makes it unique. Good or bad. I'm looking ...
