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.

Thanks, Pamela!
I got all excited when I saw your title, I thought I'd find a photo of Michael Phelps. *wink* Clever title.
Beside being Olympic swimmers, they would win the gold at an eating contest as well!!
Cute post! The pond and the fish are beautiful!
I'm late but finally have my WW post up for today. Please stop by if you get a chance!

Hugs and blessings,
My mother built a gold fish pond that looked almost exactly like that. At one point, we had two small kittens eying the fish as they fed....
Thanks for dropping by.
I hope your WW was happy, thank you for visiting mine.
The lady at the bar was thinking one bike when and where she left it. Now there are oodles of bikes and she has been drinking wine. I hope she can find hers (and is able to ride it home).

PERFECTLY titled! You're the Queen of that, no doubt :).
