I skipped last weeks entry, because I referred to the winters in my life in a previous post. Instead, I interviewed Betty Harrell for my Examiner article. Her responses about Winter Memories got her started down Memory Lane. Read her interesting comments by clicking here.
Here’s my Memory Lane Monday post this week: Cars
My first memory of a new car in our family was an old DeSoto. (Yellow and Black) It is quite amazing to think about now that styles have changed so dramatically. My parents were so very excited. Throughout my life with my parents, they usually owned Chevrolets-usually the Caprise Classic.
When I was first married we bought a very old Chevrolet Impala and were simply grateful to have transportation. Later we bought a Lincoln Mercury Capri, dark green and loved its sporty feel. We later owned a Honda Accord that suited our growing family. I have fond memories taking my children to school in our Chevy Blazer.
I'm now realizing we had more cars than I ever imagined. We now have a Chevy Suburban and a Toyota Matrix. I'll fill in the others when I write family stories.
