It's "legs 11" week! Wow, I'm showing my age now LOL...in case you don't know, "legs 11" is what they say in bingo when #11 is called. Back in the '90's bingo was all the rage, and it wasn't just for the oldies, it's actually a lot of fun, especially when you get all the numbers ticked off and call out BINGO!!!...aahhh when life was simple ay.
PHOTO: Precious We all know life is about experiences, not 'things', but we DO form attachments with our material possessions for whatever reason. This weeks image is directly linked to the topic below - take a photo of your precious object and share with us. JOURNAL PROMPT: Consider an Object What is a material object that you value highly and how did it come into your life? Why is it so precious to you?
Two fat ladies 88, unlucky for some 13 and I think you get the picture that we are on the same page.. bring back bingo haha!!
Well the above meme really left me no option to pair up my car and my favorite material belonging.. 1974 Chrysler Valiant Ranger.. I bought her back in 2005 and only just sold her late last year.. need I say it was a huge decision and a teary AF day.. when I was in seventh form one of my closest friends had an older brother who had an old Ford Falcon Station Wagon with a bench seat in the front.. we used to steal it and pile heaps of us girls in and go to the mount to do 'laps' lol.. we had SOO fun so I vowed that I would save up and get an old wagon to be able to continue the tradition.. I have SOO many treasured memories and experiences with her even though she is an inanimate object she certainly could bring life to the party.. I religiously took her to car shows like Kumeu Classic Car show and Beach Hop every year.. she was a Wedding Car for my Best Friends Sam and Steve.. took my friends kids to their School Balls.. even a Funeral Car for my friends younger brother.. so she certainly become a very treasured part of my life.. there was a time in my life where I thought that I would end up with a massive shed full of all sorts of these old cars.. 1966 Cadillac coupe deVille and a 1956 Chevrolet Belair sedan oh and my favourite of all 1966 Lincoln Continental..
Now sadly with the uncertainty of where the fuel supply and costs, vehicle values and safeguarding the investment.. I made the call that I was best to invest into precious metals that I am pretty certain are going to sky rocket in my lifetime vs metals that will always be slowly rusting and require further investment to maintain the original one.. one can only live in hope that the shed full of imaculate classic cars may be written into my timeline but for now I am going to be far happier with a glass house that big instead and full of plants lol!!
