Do You Remember When?

[leytonstones]

The only car I ever owned was a tomato red Austin Metro called "Harriet".

My girlfriend had a 1940's (in the 50's) Kaiser she called "Lizzie". Does anyone remember Kaisers? They haven't been around for years and years. Later she had a Ford Econoline she called "Jaws". Jaws was a very good car lasting her for years and years.

We had a Jeep Cherokee...in 1974...we called "God's Chariot". It got me to bible studies on country roads in Alaska...through snow and all kinds of conditions...indeed, a gift from above. Later we owned a travel trailer we used to tow SW and spent months in...called "God's Treasure." and it truly was another gift from above. Presently we own a 1991 Econoline Imperial Ford which we call the "Red Robin" because it is truly a shade of red. It looks better than "Jaws" did though.

When we could but canister vacuums made of steel(not plastic) instead of uprights. I really don't like the uprights with all the attachments sticking out here and there and everything made of plastic.

My first car was a blue, 4 door 510 Datsun. The interesting thing was, I was going with my future wife and her Dad, my future father-in-law, "signed" for it as I had no credit at that point. Well, for me that was as good as asking for her hand in marriage...! Wow.

I remember when my mother got an electrolux. We really thought that was special since it wasn't an upright.

Yea the Electrolux floor canister was convenient. Put the tube on the exhaust side and it blew dust bunnies out from underneath the couch

It had chrome runners and a chome logo.....cool

I remember when I was about 3-6 we lived in a farm house rented from the farmer in Southern Ontario. Dad was in the airforce but we had to live off base. We had a wood burning fireplace and a cold water pump at the sink. The Out-house of course was the order for all but me.( I was special) and I even think I got to bathe in the metal tub first. I remember our cat could jump up on my parents bed catch the light string and turn on the light at night when it needed to go out. I remember enjoying all the farm animals the sheep especially but NOT the geese. I remember being part of the school community even before starting sschool, invited to all the parties and productions. It was a one room school house and when I did start I walked with my brothers and sister two miles there and two miles back home each day along the country road. I also remember it being very cold and that icicles formed inside the window of our upstairs bedroom. Brrr

I especially remember the Baptist Church we attended and the warm fellowship I felt there. I felt very loved and cared for there. I still have the crochet soap turtle and egg warmers made for me by a very wonderful lady. gg

I remember that I got an Electrolux for an engagement gift....and...thinking it was so unromantic....
That was 43 years ago and it still works....

I remember the Baptist Church from the time I was 3 or 4 just starting Sunday School...my favorite song was
"Sunday School is over and we are going home...Good bye...Good...bye... I had separation anxiety...
I do remember the first song I learned there : Jesus Loves me....

I can really remember the Hymn He Lives for some reason. gg

Yes I do have some great memories of my involvement with the Baptist Church. Eventually got saved at age 13 in another one. gg

 

[bcauser]

Wow that is neat. I really attended a Baptist Church pretty much my whole life except for a short time when we went to a nondenominational protestant Air force chapel on our air base and also went to a Nazarene church in town from time to time. (my grandpa was a retired pastor there). I even went to a lay leadership school for a year that was Baptist. I guess I didn't really change until just after my first son was born. gg

Baptist friends took me to a Youth for Christ meeting when I was a teen. Asked Jesus into my heart that same week.

Still thanking God for those friends and that Jesus died on the cross for our sins.
