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.

And I understand how you feel about taking care of family members when it's only going to be a temporary solution. I enjoyed reading about your old family album. What a treasure. I have only one photo of my grandfather whom I admire a lot. I study his face and think about the man he may have been since I never knew him.
I hope your Thanksgiving holiday is just the way you like it, Pamela.
Buttercups teeth knocked me out! hee hee hee
If I had to list only ONE thing I'm thankful for, it would be my health.
Without it, I couldn't enjoy much else.
May you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Hugs and blessings,
