OLE' GREEN PICK-UP

LORAN HAS THE OLE' GREEN PICK-UP OUT NOW AND DRIVING IT TO WORK OUT AT BENTS OLD FORT. POLISHED IT ALL UP, FIXED A COUPLE OF SMALL THINGS, PUT A NEW BATTERY IN IT AND ZOOM WE ARE READY TO GO. THIS PICK UP A 1977 FORD F150 HAS OVER 200,000

MILES ON IT NOW, BEEN OVERHAULED ONCE AND IT STILL RUNS AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN OUR OTHER 2 PICK-UPS. MOST OF OUR FRIENDS REMEMBER ME DRIVING UP AND DOWN THE ROAD BETWEEN LAS ANIMAS AND LAMAR EVERYDAY FOR ALMOST 15 YEARS. SHE HAS BEEN A GOOD FRIEND. BEEN SETTING IN THE GARAGE FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS AND ONLY HAD ABOUT 50 MILES PUT ON IT. I THINK THE OLD TRUCK IS HOLDING AS WELL OR BETTER THAN ME THESE LAST FEW YEARS.

ANOTHER SHOT OF LORAN AND HIS OLE' GREEN FRIEND. I TRIED TO SELL THIS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, BUT I GUESS NO ONE THOUGH IS WAS WORTH $1750.00. CONSIDERING THAT IT IS A CLASSIC NOW AND IN GOOD SHAPE RUNNING WISE. DOES HAVE SOME RUSTED OUT OVER THE BACK FENDERS, LIKE ALL FORDS OF THIS YEAR HAD, UNLESS SOMEONE DID A PROPER UNDERCOATING. THE INSIDE IS SPOTLESS AND THE AM RADIO STILL WORKS. WHAT ELSE COULD YOU ASK FOR. CONSIDERING THAT I PAID ONLY 1950.00 FOR IT 25 YEARS AGO I DON'T THINK MY PRICE WAS TO OUTRAGEOUS. I GUESS I'll JUST DRIVE THE REST OF THE LIFE OUT OF IT.

GUESS WHAT? HERE WE ARE CANNING TOMATOES AGAIN. LINDA ALREADY HAS 3 BATCHES DONE WHILE I WAS AT WORK AND EMILEE IS COMING TO STAY THE NIGHT AND HELP US OUT AGAIN. SHE DID THINK IT WOULD BE NICE IF GRANDMA AND GRANDPA TOOK HER TO THE DAIRY QUEEN FOR SUPPER.....WE THOUGHT WE COULD MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
