I remember one Christmas after John Dan and Michelle married. The temperature was cold—in the 20s, and we were having the celebration on Townsend. Something happened to their furnace, and we had no heat. Beth Ann was there, and she wore her leopard coat all day. The water froze in the Christmas tree holder, it was so cold.
But Michelle and John Dan served all of us a delicious dinner. John and I couldn't leave because that old diesel Buick wouldn't start when the temperature got below 32 degrees. That's all pretty vague.
I remember once I had been to Odessa and was bringing Jim and Carolyn’s children back with me. Maybe just Lisa and Brian, I don't remember.
Lisa was going to visit Grandmother. We were low on diesel fuel, driving on Loop 820 in south Fort Worth. The "low fuel" sign was flashing madly. If diesel fuel ran out, something special had to be done before it would start again, and I was not a happy Grandmom with that old diesel auto.
We did find fuel before it ran out, but just barely. After that, I was ready for another car. Soon we bought a white Buick wagon that we still have (1998) and drive around Commerce. Later we would buy a newer white Buick wagon and it would become our best car.
