I Love This Truck

Well Friends, I hope you have all had a great day.  Did it seem like Monday all over again to you?  Sure did to me.  I guess because Mr. P was off yesterday and had to go back to work today,,,,, I had another Monday.  You know the kind of day,,, nothing seemed to go right.  I got a slow start, my sewing machine did not want to cooperate and had to give it some TLC to get it to going.  Doing laundry, cooking supper, straightening house for the weekend.  UGH!!! Not fun stuff to me.   But am thankful for the day, and now that it is winding down,,, I can see progress.  

Last evening was so much fun.  Family and friends gathered at Holly and Stacy's home forr the firworks show just up the street.  My BFF Jane and her husband Ricky always come to celebrate with us.  A few years back Ricky drove by a pasture and saw this truck sitting out there abandoned.  He stopped and ask about it and that night he bought it and drove it home.

Those who know me well, know that vehiciles are not that important to me.  As long as my car/truck is reliable, and has air, then I am good to go.  But I simply fell in love with this truck from the first time I saw it. It is a 1953 International Harvester.  And is in wonderful condition.  The family he bought it from said it was the lady's daddys truck.  Ricky has done very little work to it since he purchased it.  It didn't even need a paint job.  They even had all the paperwork on it too. Was this a great find or what?

It is perfect on the inside.  Don't you just love it?  Guess when it was new, blinkers were not invented.  He did add blinkers so that driving would be easier.

Of couse back then air condition was not even an option.... So.... he had to add air so that Jane would take an occassional drive with him. 

Don't ya just love that little fan.  He's a good man, knows how to keep his woman happy,, and cool!!

Naturally where there is a camera, there is always Darbee Rae.  I think she likes the truck too.  Maybe because she has seem her Nana drool over it.

Wonder how many boys she could catch if she was 16 and driving around town in this cool old truck??

Yes, this is my answer to a Primitive truck.  I told Ricky it needed to sit in my front yard.  Can't you just imagine the back full of hay, pumpkins and gourds?

A big old prim Santa sitting behind the stieering wheel at Christmas and the back loaded down with wrapped packages?

And such a pretty picture it would be full of spring flowers , easter eggs, and maybe a bunny or two?

Yes, I need this truck!!! But, I have to remember if someone would steal our goldfish from the front lawn,,, maybe it is lots safer at home with him and Jane.  Guess it don't hurt for a girl to dream though.  Yep, I dream of an old truck like that sitting out front, but for now I can enjoy theirs every now and then

And speaking of lawn decor,,,, I would also enjoy decorating this great wagon.  Holly's father-in-law built it . He had the front wheels since he was just a lad.  Never knew what he was going to do with them until he got the idea to build a wagon.  He lets Holly decorate with it on special occassions.   

Well a post two days in a row,,,, I am doing great!! Hope you have enjoyed visiting.  I will leave you with a few photos of the fireworks we saw from Holly's front lawn. 

Wishing you all a great Friday and a wonderful safe weekend. 

Until Next time. .....
