A couple of summers ago we headed over to grandpa
Braniff's. He has here a 1921 Packard Firetruck. It's actually in good shape. Much better shape than the 1942 truck he and Tommy had finished. They even had it running last summer for the 4
th of July parade but it locked up. Since then they have figured out what the problem is. Dad may have it going for this July 4
th.
That same summer dad had the boys take out an old freezer from the basement. It was ancient. It was a tough job but they got it up those narrow stairs and onto that truck. After they got it out they were all complaining about how heavy it was. Seth asked, "Grandpa, how did you get that into the basement in the first place?" "Well, if I remember right your grandma and I toted it down there." Whatever. This may have been one of the jobs that Seth got paid for too. I think dad sent him a thank you note and a $.01 check.
Todd is in the background doing bunny ears. I AM SHOCKED!

Mom, thanks for posting the pictures - they are so fun! Todd is such a teenager (gosh - I hope he doesn't read this!) :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to tell him to read it. He already knows he's such a teenager.
