Thursday, October 1, 1964 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

October 1, 1964
Thursday, nice day, 50's.  I put tomatoes in freezer.  Cut Sue out a white blouse.  Clifton came home at 1 pm.  Engineers on strike.  Sue and I went to prayer meeting at night.
Comment: On this day in 1908, the year my father was born, the Ford Model T was introduced to the public, and was the first car that was affordable and reliable for the ordinary citizen of the United States. Known as the "Tin Lizzie," . The Tin Lizzie was the first car built using mass production methods and when first introduced cost $850 seating two people, and by the time it was discontinued in 1927, nearly 15,000,000 Model T's had been sold. In the late forties, LaVerne and I and Franklin Brown hauled scrap iron with a 1919 Model TT truck....and here are my memories of it....talking blues style

Hey Gerry, it’s Ginny Hare! For some reason I am late to the party checking out your posts and all the extras you add. This song is amazing! I feel like I am there. Thanks for sharing your mom’s journal and you thoughts and talent!

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
