LOL...I remember that elephant.
BTW, when the job was over on the Academy, all the crew came back to the Illinois area except my Grand dad and grandmother. They stayed behind to turn the house back over only to get caught in a hurricane that hit, they lost all power and in that huge big house...
Well now, I was told the Maine State Prison is no longer there, was tore down some years back. In 1963/64 my grandfather was the foreman on a Western Water proofing company out of St Louis. They got the contract to over haul the brick and mortar of the prison walls. My dad was the bricklayer on...
Thanks..........I'll give a after date report like we all did when we were kids. I have been searching for some reading literature to "edjamakate" me over the winter so I will have a look at your suggestions. I earliest car I owned was a 1948 Ford Sedan but didn't have it long. Only got to drive...
Time is short, day after tomorrow is my first date with Sarah. I'm anticipating everything will go well. I will feel like a kid at a grade school dance where all the boys are on one side and all the girls on the other and wanting so bad to walk across and ask a girl to dance.
I didn't say I enjoyed those years. For an average smart kid who couldn't get to school fast enough and hated to hear the end of the day school bell, says a lot about home life. I don't contribute that home life to abuse, I contribute that life from parents who grew up in a harder, more harsh...

Since she is a thing of beauty, I think I'll name her....Sarah. I've always liked that name and I didn't have any ex-wives with that name making the list other names a rather small one to chose from. Sarah is an old name and I've always associated it with a purity. It's origin is Hebrew and I...
I'm going to be like a kid again waiting for Christmas to get here.....and getting my first bicycle and then having to wait all winter long to ride it. As LizzieMaine reminded me, it will be a very long winter too.
Thanks all....................
It was on my bucket list which is getting smaller and smaller. It will set in my garage which is attached so I'll spend a lot of time behind the wheel over the winter and not go anywhere. LOL
I had looked at a 1929 Tuesday, almost identical to this 31, same...
