Whooo- Dat
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

you must have had a real hoot taking them.

Is that owl really living close to you?
We had a screech owl baby for awhile. I think it was hurt and my brother was nursing it back to health. We feed it meat...and it did make a crazy screech (o:
Reminds me of a grouchy old man who isn't really as grouchy as he appears. :)
Sending warmest wishes from a NOT so sunny South Africa today!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today it was nice to see you
Then I saw that it was an owl ! they have such funny faces and eyes like my cat Rosie ! You are so lucky to see them life !
Mine are here and here.
I miss the pair of grt horned owls that lived near me in CA. I didn't see them much, but I heard them nearly every morning sometime between 3 and 4 AM. Lovely.
Hugs and blessings,
I've not seen an owl upclose and personal yet. I do see them flying away sometimes at twilight - off to find a dinner mouse I guess.
thanks for the owl photos.
they make the most soothing sound at night ... so easy to sleep to.
The WV word is "loathe" ! ! ! I think that is hilarious.
