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

Beautiful photo. We don't have trees like that here in the High Desert...unless we use a case of red spray paint on all the tumbleweeds.

Love those leaves.
Good job, as per usual Miss Pamela, with that photo. I love them all.
Small coincidence: the Camaro was built in a GM plant about a 10-minute drive from where I grew up. The plant has since been closed and demolished, but it was a big presence in my 'burg when I was growing up.
