Olive You Grandma
Olive you too, Buttercup!
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

I hope you had a good Thanksgiving, Pamela, and that your week has gotten off to a good start.
Albeit, Buttercup is still very little but she is shaping up to be just like one of Karisma's kids! (Karmyn! Take her to church! Right now! Before its too late! Save her!)
I remember moments like this when I visited my grandparents, and they helped form the person I ultimately became.
