Day 325 CJSM-book IV


Day 325

 

Baby-blue convertible that would not shift into reverse

& Beth cried & cried when it was sold

 

 

Time seems to have a way of fogging memories, I reckon. We have two cars confused.

When little Beth was born, I had a 1962 red Ford Galaxy convertible; Candy and I were in college and money was extremely tight; I worked at A & P food stores as a stock-boy and a checker with a 3rd shift job in downtown St. Louis at  AT&T as a computer operator. Ah! Love!

The Saturday Beth was born, My red chariot decided to refuse to go into reverse.

So? I parked only where I could pull out---Forward!...Easy fix!?

Our next car was a 1966 light blue 4-speed Ford Galaxy convertible; when I sold it, Beth cried and cried and did not want to get out of it. She got over it---eventually. C’est la vie!

 

Ah! Cookie Jar Sweet “Bye-Bye! Old car!” Memories!
