It’s Monday. Some of you will remember our cat, Marilynn. We got her from the Humane Society back in 2006. She was pure white and despite being a being quite a handful, we loved her for over 15 years.
In 2007 I had purchased a 1/12 scale model of a white 1958 Corvette convertible off eBay and placed it atop my giant projection TV (hey, they were cool back then!). Marilynn, being a cat, jumped up there to check it out and promptly nudged it right off of the TV. It came crashing down and was a total loss. These things go for $150 on eBay, so I wasn’t happy.
Anyway, the girlfriend and I were at a craft show & flea market last weekend and to my surprise, there was a 1/12th scale 1958 Corvette convertible that was for sale. This one was brand new and exactly the same as my previous one, except this one was teal in color. I asked how much they wanted for it. They said it was marked $20, but would take $15. I looked up and said SOLD!
Well, I no longer have that giant TV and Marilynn crossed the rainbow bridge back in 2021. However, many years later I got my car back. And I think about Marilynn every time I see it.
