Don’t much care for walnuts, but Jim & Sarah like them. Even I have to admit they’re needed in fruitcake to offset the sweetness of the candied fruit. Found a recipe for fancy walnuts for gifts that sounded good. Most of my family & friends DO like nuts.
So when I found the ad for free walnuts, it was a no brainer to go get some. I am so glad I did. First, it was the easiest thing in the world as the walnuts had already been picked. They were all piled up in a wheelbarrow! All we had to do was bag them to take home. Piece of cake.
Then we were shown an antique car the gentleman owned. When was the last time you were up close to a 1929 Ford Roadster? The car was in great shape. Only 2 parts of it were not original parts. The gentleman had had so much trouble with the generator, he had installed an alternator. The other replacement part was a bigger battery than the car originally had. He had been told that the reason the horn sounded anemic was the battery was too small so he replaced it.
It’s not often you get an upclose history lesson like we had today. Of course, Sarah had no idea what a rumble seat was so that was an eyeopener for her. The gentleman who owned it was also nice enough to show us HOW one proceeded to get into the rumble seat. It’s quite a trick. Wish I had had my camera with me, but we only went for walnuts & didn’t have a clue we would see such a fabulous car.
