Tanya photo
Not everyone ends up in a care facility.
We were grocery shopping yesterday and saw this beautifully restored Model T Ford in the store's parking lot. We walked over and had a chat with its owner.
That proud owner of same is in the photo with me. (I am the one in the brown shoes.)
He said he bought one just like it brand new when he was 15 years old in 1930 for $500.oo then last year--many cars and years later--he got a phone call from his grandsons who said: "Grandpa go outside. We sent you a present and it is loaded on a truck! And, of course, the present was the Model T which they had restored for him.
Nice, huh?
He said not many 15 year-old kids these days would--or could--do that. I guess not since there are about a thousand people living in California now for every one in 1930!
(He also said the price of gasoline back then was about 8 gallons for a dollar.)
