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

Ya'll have the most wonderfully blessed and beautiful 'fall' day!!! :o)
We did have a mattress come out of the back of a pickup and land on our windshield...scary...it came off in a flash...but that could have been a wreck for sure.
So how are you doing???
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Made me smile! I really enjoyed the chance to read yours and hope to come by again.
