What a Ride.

When the memory below... popped up today, 

made me Smile.

<3

Some Things Never Change!!

: )

{captured the above image... this morning.}

My FAVORITE Coffee Cup...

: )

Oh My!!

Coffee Truly Does Taste Better...

out of Your Favorite Cup!!

; )

This Big Ironstone Cup...

dates from the early part of the last century.

Fell in Love with it at First Sight...

at an Estate Sale, 20 years ago...or so.

<3

Several years ago... I couldn't find it.

Have a Bad Habit of taking coffee outside with me... when I work.

then...

sit my cup down...

and lose track of where I left it.

It was a Happy Day.... down The Rabbit Hole, a while back...

when I found it, amongst other old dishes, in the front Greenhouse.

<3

{Right Where I Left It!! : ) Probably walked past it a Thousand Times!!}

Have many Vintage Cups... that I used while my 'Favorite'... was Lost,

but...

Coffee... just didn't taste the same.

; )

Fired Old Jethro up, yesterday... for the first time, in a long time, when I went to meet 

Pals, Steph...and Patti, {above} to watch the Iowa Women play Basketball.

{Sad...they lost. But what a Great Game!! <3}

Wasn't sure... Jethro would start. His battery is getting some age on it, and he's been sitting for quite a while.

Told Patti, as we were leaving The Angle Inn... 

about my 'wonder'...if he'd Fire Up...

then said...

I felt like Jethro said, as I turned his key...

"Come On...Mama... Let's ROLL!!!"

<3 <3 <3 

Patti said, "That's Exactly What I was Thinkin'... as you were telling me about it!!"

: )

<3

Patti said... "I think I'm gonna Steal Jethro!!"

Told her if she can drive a 'Stick'... and deal with his Touchy Clutch...

Go Ahead!!!

Hahahahahaha!!!

{Patti decided to stick with her Subaru. : ) <3 }

Jethro... is a Trick to drive, until you get used to him. : )

John even struggled with him.

He didn't drive him often enough to get used to Jethro's 'Ways'.

: )

Most who try to 'Steal' him.... {Move him}... 

Kill Him.... several times, before they can get the job done.

: )

{Daughter, Liz... was Good, with Jethro. 

<3

Maybe... Jethro's just a 'Ladies Man'. : ) }

He's got a Touchy Clutch, and his gear pattern is very, Close...and

 Tight.

: )

It was GREAT.... taking Jethro for a Spin, yesterday.

After driving Sally, and The Ford....

I'd forgotten how much I Missed Jethro's Power, and his Throaty Growl!!

: )

<3

What a RIDE!!

: )

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.

{Jethro... Needs a Hot Bubble Bath!!! Kinda like the Driver, this mornin'!! : ) }
