I took the Thunderbird out to a place that services Antique Cars, when I went out to Check on it the Serviceman told me two people had seen it and wanted to buy it. The Serviceman has antique vehicles, they asked him if it was his and would he put a price on it, he said I told them it is not mine but if it was I would not sell it.

Myrna loves to Drive the Thunderbird, I Like to drive both Cars. She will drive the Model A but her Preference is always the T Bird.

I have always Loved the old Cars. As a young  boy growing up in Howard, I remember Grover and Annie Cooley driving an old Model T, wow would I like to have it now. Probably the most unusual and unique Vehicle was Billy Dentons old Cord, he had quit driving it long before my day, but when I worked at Billy's  for Guy Morgan, he would take me to an old Building across the Low Water Bridge and he had it stored there, it was one awesome Automoblie, I have not seen one like it since. Sadly when they were Burning the Oil off of the Slush Ponds the Fire got away from them and with the Wind blowing it set the Garage on fire where the Chord was stored. It was burned so bad it was not Restorable, sad, sad. Another old Vehicle in Howard when I was young was Ralph Snooks old Antique Trucks. The one I remember most was one that was a one Ton or Ton and a Half. Ralph painted the Cabs Black and the Beds Green, I think. It was his only Mode of Transpotation and he Drove it everywhere. The last one I remember was Forty Housers old Dray Truck. He Delivered the Goods that come in on the Train. I don't remember what kind it was or how old it was, it was probably a 1 Ton to Ton and a half. Forty loved young people, he would let us ride in the back while he was making his deliveries. As much as I enjoyed it it makes me sad to think about it. This growing old sure ain't for Sisses.

You got that one right, Frank.  Getting old is not for sissies.  Guess that proves that I am not a sissy.

Wilma, Piedmont area Farm Girls are never Sissies, I know I am married to one. I have been putting up with her for almost 52 years.
