“MOM” in her first automobile!

May 10th “MOM” in her first automobile!

This picture is so old – those who know their automobiles will be able to let me know the exact year and make of this vehicle – that my MOTHER is sitting in?

In trying to see my MOM’s face better – – – had to move the lighting to… as much light – as I could go – and – still mot lose all of the back ground. At first looking at this photo – it looked like my MOTHER had a very wide brim hat on – but that is not the case . Looks like she has a “beanie-type” cap – on. In this picture she has very long and wavy hair. In my LIFE – – never saw her in wavy long hair – – evidently the long hair was too hard to take care of – – when she was having a new child each year?

In this picture – MOM has a very nice smile and is looking very happy! The year could be – 1936 – and as I remember – – before any of us children arrived on the scene – my FATHER had to have an automobile – so my MOTHER bought one. When it was ready for pick-up from the Auto Dealer – my MOM did not know how to drive it? In those days – there was not enough traffic to worry about – and someone at the DEALERSHIP – did show my MOM how to drive it – so she said she thought she would drive it home – – -but as she drove for a block or two along Natural Bridge Road – for some reason – – which MOM did not – know WHY – -the vehicle stopped!

My Mother had to call for help – in order to get the vehicle home. Why my Mother did not – first – get to learn how to drive – is something else? I did write about the one time that – my Father was going to teach MOM – how to drive when we were little and living in the PINE Lawn area – – on this occasion – we kids were in the back seat – – and MOM was at the wheel – – and the vehicle seem to be going up the hill – and then – just as fast – we were rolling backwards – and down the hill – I was the oldest and scared and probably screaming – as loud as I could – as I could see that we were going to crash – but more than that – I cannot remember???

This picture of my MOTHER – was taken when she was very happy – as she did get married – her Father had died and she did not want to tell her Mother – as she was in her 80’s! MOM had her own money to buy the fur coat that she has on – and also enough to pay cash for the vehicle – as back in those days – – My Mother had told me she paid for everything – I do know that she did lose a lot of money when the “crash” hit in the 1920’s – as I still have the old BREMEN BANK BOOK – that shows what she lost! — In LIFE – we all have our “ups and downs” – the secret is to continue on course and never look back at the bad – – – always moving forward toward the “GOAL” – that we have to accomplish – and pass on to each new generation – LOVE and TRUTH – to do better!

“HAPPY MOTHER’s DAY” “MOM” you are the “BEST” …
