Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
We hope you all have a very wonderful holiday with your families and friends. We are doing well. Sharie has recovred from her surgery and is doing great. She turned five last month (so hard to beleive-where have the last five years gone?). Shalen is growing and maturing. She will be four in Janurary. Both girls love Hanna Montanna and High School Musical right now. They finished up thier soccer season and now play basketball. Jena is growing as well. She turned two last week and celebrated with an Elmo cake. She is taking some interest in potty training. She enjoys her Saturday gym class with Daddy or Mommy. JJ is two months now and is smiling from ear to ear. He is a great baby and only gets up once through the night. Of course, he is adored by his sisters! Jon and I are well, but busy keeping up with all of them.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving Day and holiday season!
Love,
The Guilliams Family
Comments made in the year 1955:
"I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going
to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $20."
"Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before
$2000 will only buy a used one."
"If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack
is ridiculous."
"Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to
mail a letter?"
"When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost
29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage."
"Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make it impossible to
stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long
as the girls."
"I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let
Clark Gable get by with saying 'damn' in 'Gone With The Wind,' it seems every
new movie has either "hell" or "damn" in it.
"I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a
man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they
call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas."
"Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000
a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be
making more than the president."
"I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be
electric. They are even making electric typewriters now."
"It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married
women are having to work to make ends meet."
"It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to
watch their kids so they can both work."
"Marriage doesn't mean a thing any more; those Hollywood stars seem to be
getting divorced at the drop of a hat."
"I'm just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot
of foreign business."
"Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government takes half
our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best people
to congress."
"The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously
doubt they will ever catch on."
"There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore for a weekend. It
costs nearly $15 a night to stay in a hotel."
"No one can afford to be sick any more; $35 a day in the hospital is too
rich for my blood."
"If they think I'll pay $1.00 for a hair cut, forget it."
Know friends who would get a kick out of these? Pass it on!

Old Snow plow truck junkyard in Richfield Springs, NY. The yard has recently been completely cleaned up. The owner was super nice and let me walk around and take pictures
The FWD Truck company started production in 1906 and was a major supplier of trucks to the Allied armies during WWI. This particular truck, located at the Simcoe County Museum, is a 1926 model. It is equiped with a Wood Hyrdaulic system.
I would not have wanted to meet this vehicle at night and have to look into those big headlights right at eye level!
