I was doing a photo shoot out at our Ranch today and I was thinking about how my dad never gets rid of cars. They are used until they just aren't worth fixing and then.... well, they are put out to pasture. To live out the rest of their lives quietly rusting over time surrounded by bunnies, squirrels and cows. Not a bad way to go, in fact I was just saying the other night that that is how I want to go, really old sitting out looking at the ranch.
This was the pick up that we had when I was little. We lived in town but would ride in to the ranch on the weekends. We would ride in the back, no seatbelt hair blowing like crazy. Sometimes we took the back roads and sometimes the freeway. As soon as we got on to the dirt road of our property I got to sit on my dad's lap and drive. When my dad got "The Van" (also resting in peace at the ranch) the pick up became a work truck and me, my sister and brother all drove this at some point when we got our drivers license.
This rusty ole military trailor doesn't have any sentimental value, it just happened to be parked next to the truck and was rusty and cool. The 4D is our brand. The four D's are Dennis (my dad) Denise (my sister) Derek (my brother) and Dena (me). I love that our old cars are at the ranch. I love to think about the memories that we had in them. Thanks for stopping by while I trip down memory lane. :)
