Had to turn off the A/C to pass...

Poem Artwork

81 Granada, dark red,

White top, belonged to Ed,

Drove everywhere in her,

To Chicago & New Hampshire,

Couldn’t sleep in her,

Feet out one side & out the other my head…

 

Had a great air conditioner,

But to pass another, had to turn it off,

Not much power in her little straight six,

To help to keep me safe in her,

To a church I became a parishioner…

 

Replaced the oil burning engine,

And twice replaced the transmission,

Fords were again for me becoming a tradition,

Sold her for 500 bucks, the next owner,

Using her in the derby demolition…

The saga about your cars is interestly going on. Love them. I was always a Ford person too, but now have a 1996 Chevy Corsica, very little trouble with it has 91,000 miles now on it. Light blue in color with gray interior. Love it, it is my last baby my hubby Tom said he could buy me. Hope it lasts longer cause cannot afford another one right now.

River of Memories: An Appalachian Boyhood by David Thompson

For a time, I perched myself on a flat rock, comparing my life with the Guyandotte River. Just as its tributaries replenish it daily, changing it in some small—sometimes great—degree, so have the day-to-day occurrences of life changed me. Like the ri
