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.

Great photo!
love the details that you caught.
to your comment : I don't know if they take the house down after they finished their exam. I suppose so, lol !

Can you take a moment to visit here and share some?
shukriya.
I have this thing about photographing bugs and feet. To me? This is one of my favorite shots of yours, and that's saying a lot! You KNOW I've liked many!
Truly a fabulous WW--there's not a thing that needs to be said.
...and then there are MY entries ... :/.
;)
And, Jodi, you don't know how excited I was to see leg warmers back in style last year. Yes, I needed a pair immediately. I'd saved mine from many, many years ago waiting for just such a day, but alas, elastic doesn't last forever.
That's okay, I have a new pair now. Some things should never die.
happy ww
Hugs and blessings,
(Did you keep it for the grandchildren?)
I hope you have a good week.
