Barbara

I am a car collector and would love to have that one even today! You always have the neatest old photos.

Barbara, I didn't know Bonnie & Clyde had kids:)

Ah yes, the crawl spaces. I was told that when I was about 4, I came out from under the house with a joint snake in my hands. Supposedly, it tied itself into a knot and snapped apart. Legend has it that if the pieces are left alone, the snake will rejoin itself later.

I still play in the crawl space. Our home is built on a ridge so that the first floor is street level and the next floor is down the hill. There is a space that extends from the front porch to the second level that is theoritically below ground but is over 8 feet high and amounts to about 1000 sq. ft. I call it the catacombs and have my workshop there plus an ungodly amount of storage space. The climate system and water heater are located there. All the duct piping is overhead by 2 or more feet as well as the water and gas pipes. It is a do it yourself dream for modifications. A screen door leads to the outside. I buy about 40 pounds of Vidalia onions in season and store them there for onions until about November. It is so cool under there during our mid 90s days.

Life is good.

I have a large picture of my husband's grandma when she was a baby with her sister and brother, parents had died. They ARE standing in front of a horse. I have another of my grandpa with his team of mules pulling the plow. Kate Ford

(Psst I answered your request for an apology to you know who on your motel post... and very humbly if I may boast.)

Barbara:  So, tell me.  What model and year is that car ?  In many ways, I wish cars were still made that looked exactly like that.  What a hoot !  I'd buy one.  How 'bout you ?  You come up with some really interesting pictures.

Barbara I love old photos - my husband has some of his grandfather - they are priceless,  Karen

Mrs Barbara,

Since Mrs Kate is lurking here, should I assume that the car is a Ford? I am hoping you are not trying to appease her after your forcefully making her apologize for wronging you know who.

You know who,

U No Whoo (Ms Barbara, he will not know the difference, remember he can't spell.) I am deeply shocked after my sincere apology, he calls me lurker and offers a meal of foul when he knows very well that I don't eat much meat.

Duel I say, DUEL! Cowgirl Kate

Trey, what IS that car?  That would possibly tell the year?

Charles, you're so funny!!

Don, when I got in my car today it said 122 degrees!  I thought my computer was messed up but it was that hot.  And there you are down there living in luxury in the catacombs.  Anita led the charmed childhood but you're sure living the charmed adulthood!! 

Kate, you two have got to make up!!  Take your mind off Nutsy and show us the old pictures!

Karen Anne, I just like old black and white pictures and black and white movies.  I asked Trey for the model.  Perhaps he'll tell us.

Karen, share them!!

Nutsy, you two have got to make up!!  You're changing the subject on my blogs!  And you know how she is when you get her mad!!  She's out for blood!!!!

Kate will look for Grandpa's team of mules to share tomorrow. The other one is too big I think to scan. Kate will consider making up with U No Whoo if a sincere and public apology surfaces by tomorrow morning. Otherwise, onto a duel! Sincerely, Cowgirl Kate's Meaningful Assistant

I have family pictures from my grandparents and my grandparents standing along side their cars with their kids. My kids don't and won't have any of those, but they will have some of me with my various horses and of Mike with his dogs ... lol

Hey Barbara,

nice old photo.

Nutsy and Kate may need to see a counselor to help them work out their differences.

Good luck to both!

My have times changed!  Doesnt look a thing like my BMW in front of my condo in the city !

Suesan, you just stated that you've gone back in time.  Horses!  Your love is horses.  LOL  You can ride a horse but better not try it with the dog!

Tony, perhaps you could be a mediator for awhile.  I think I'll send them to you.

James!  brag! brag!  brag!!  BMW....condo....Washington DC......I have one high-classed friend!

I just love all those old black and white photographs from long ago!

Much like the car in the photo, they're classics!

Hey Barbara. Here is the picture of my Grandma's farm house. We think this is about 1900. Turns out Grandma is not in the picture but notice the horses. Doesn't look like Henry had shared a car with them.  She grew up here without parents, her brother and she raised by their sister. I wish she could see her great-great grandchildren.

I tried to lighten this up but was the best I could do. It's getting a bit decrepit and I did not want to remove it from the frame.

Kate Ford

And apparently my Grandpa (another side of the family) only had horses too. Ironic that I would become a Ford but my relatives seemed to be liking the horses! :) Kate Ford

Kate, those are great old pictures.  The old house was the popular style of the day.  I just received a foreclosure to work on that has a curved porch like that and was built about 1911.  I'll have to share the photo later.  Thanks for the uploaded pictures!!

Remember the home you listed whose owners had remodeled and carefully preserved the stone wall? (In fact that I believe was how I met you :) The fixer upper I wrote you about that we almost bought to preserve the stone chimney and fire place was the same architecture as Grandma's farm house. Probably another reason I was drawn to it.

In case anyone remembers me, I am pouting and naked as I write this. Back to topic, I really like the car. The boss has one of his dad in a car that he drove from Nebraska to Alberta many years ago. It was a model A.

Nutsy

Nutsy!  You dear.  Of course we remember you.

And I like your conciliatory attitude and dressed appropriately with just a sweet little white shirt on. I know you're teasing about being naked.  Ms Kate, if you don't rile her, can be really nice. 

Why don't you share the bosses picture of his dad? 

Godmoma Ms Barbara 

Mrs Barbara,

We will have to see if we can find that.

Nutsy, the dignified, honest, humble Godson

I AM COMING OUT OF SILENCE

I am so sorry Ms Barbara because you are such a nice person and your blogs are so respectable. But really I have been biting my tongue all morning.

Pouting rodents = not sweet, not dignified, not honest, not humble

Yours truly, A Concerned Psychologist

After all the hype, bruhaha, posturing, and ego-maniacal boasting (and some would even add "cuteness")----in the end----we still have nothing more than a "RODENT."

Two quick observations here. 1. Psychologists do not badmouth patients on the net.  They take a soothing approach and try to make things better. 2.  Nice people don't call established home inspector assistants "rodents." 

Nutsy, sweetie, just cover your eyes and ears and visit some blog where people are civilized. 

Mrs Barbara,

I expect this from Mr Charles, but he is all hot air in his pants. As for Mrs Kate, I do not know what to think of her but she seems sneaky.
