Well, not really discovered. Twenty years ago we put Adeline’s old 1959 MG in the hay barn to preserve it. One of the main problems with old MGs is that they take up a lot of room that could be used for storing hay. The car was buried under a whole bunch of old horse tack. There were heaps of saddle blankets to keep the mice happy making nests out of them. Empty feed sacks found a home on the car, too.
But, as eventually happens to every old car stored in a barn, we yanked it out. Meanwhile, Luke had rented a car-hauling trailer.
Friend Merkell came by and even though he forgot to bring his Superman suit, he had enough strength left to pull the car onto the trailer.
Time to leave. Bye-bye, old MG. It’s going to Merced and will be with Karla’s nephew, Vincent, who promised to fix it up and not sell it. It
is part of the family after all.
