As you go past milepost 158, look to your left. Up a driveway next to a telephone pole with yellow paint on it there are some cabins. The one in the middle on the right of the driveway, the older one with cedar shakes and blue trim, is ours. I wish we were there to greet you.
ReplyDeleteI was looking forward to seeing your post online...however I must say it was my colleague Amber who offered the cup of joe. Great times though! Thanks for including me in your travels.
ReplyDeleteWas happy to see that you took Ronalee's offer of staying at the cabin! What a blessing & money saver! God is great & Ronalee is awesome and very generous! God bless her!
ReplyDeleteHey! That's my Studebaker..just for clarification it's a 1947 body with a 1950 front end. Mild custom. 1950 is when the bullet came out, but it shared the same body styling as the previous year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for enjoying the car!
