Firstly dear Maggie I am sorry I didn't know you had been unwell
so I send my belated blessings for your speedy recovery which I can see you are already well on your way to!  I loved this story of your first car rather reminds me of our first car 30 years ago which was an MG Magnet - it would only run with the battery on the wrong way round - but it was huge!!!  I was very sad to see it go......... take care and God bless

Am I thinking right?  For some reason I think that May 15 is your birthday.  If so happy birthday and if not oops.  With love from your friend always, Jacenta.

All I can say is WOW! That little car is GORGEOUS! And it's even from Nova Scotia, one of my absolutely favourite parts of the world, where I will be again soon!

And of course I am very happy, as we all are, that you're feeling so much better...

take it easy and stay well our lovely Maggie Mae.
My Dad and I bought a green Anglia when we were in England in 1966 and it was so easy to drive. Mum was with us too of course she sat in the back because I drove much of the time. We sold it before we returned to Australia got our money back so It cost us nothing. You've brought back great memories. Love you so much and really want you well. Mother's Day Vase from me to you with love.

By the way, MaggieMae.  David Cook is coming home today, in style.  I know you can hardly wait for him to win American Idol.  LOL.  (I know you prefer the other David, but our KC area David is a lot more fun to watch and listen to).

Great post, MaggieMae.  I love reading about your personal life.  You have so much to tell and seldom tell it.   Great car pictures.  How fun.

WOW, must be so proud to have kept something so sentimental for so long, and in such great shape.  Cherish those memories, and cherish each other!

What a nifty little 'shasta.' Just goes to show the quality cars had once upon a time. She looks in pristine condition. Happy to hear you are home and getting better.
