A miscellany like Grandma’s attic in Taunton, MA or Mission Street's Thrift Town in San Francisco or a Council, ID yard sale in cloudy mid April or a celestial roadmap no one folded—you take your pick.

Photo of the Week 7/18/10
Truck House, Lake Fork, Idaho Saturday, July 17th
Please check out today's post at The Days of Wine & Roses; it's the next poem in the A Few More Fold-Out Postcard Sonnets series.
Cro Magnon: I have always loved that truck house, built by a good friend. thanks for stopping by!
Martin: It's been used as a guest house as long as I've known about it. Lake Fork is about 5,000 feet in elevation & the winters there would be brutal in that I think--but there is a wood stove.
K: You'd love the folks whose property its on--this was taken yesterday during the wedding dinner for their daughter Molly.
Idaho, huh? Because that's a very Maine thing to do, too. "Ayuh, the truck, she just died right there (THEY-uh)by the side of the road, and the view was so good we just decided to build around her and settle right in!"
LOL! Plus, no one in Maine ever wasted a perfectly good truck.
There's a great line from a Maine mechanic in the old Jimmy Stewart movie The Glenn Miller Story. He looks over the band's dilapidated, broken down bus and says, "Could be worse. Don't know how."

That Truck House has Cro Magnon written all over it. Love it!

ReplyDeleteSorry, bad typo first time around.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing this was once someone's happy home?
My dream home. T. and I are moving to Lake Fork yesterday.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this photo. I would happily adopt the thing if it could be transported over here (don't tell the Good Lady Wife though).
ReplyDeleteHi Cro Magnon, Martin, K & Alan

A fabulous bit of America. Love it!!
ReplyDeleteLove this picture! I didn't even realize one could make a home out of a truck.
ReplyDeleteHi Willow & Raquelle
ReplyDeleteWillow: Yes, indeed!
Raquelle: You really ought to see the west--housebuilding is conceptually different out here!
