ART AFTER MIDNIGHT

A COUNTRY STORE_______COCA~COLA SIGNS There's nothing better to put a person in the mood to recall the times of early childhood of that Ice Cold 6oz bottle of coke. My collection of Coke turned into a collection of things that hung on the walls and doors of a country store. Items that reminded me of my young years next door to "Beebe's Gro" in a slow rural area in central Louisiana. Rain would fall, the creeks would raise, and school would close cause the roads were covered with water. Trees may be uprooted and barn roof torn off here and there but you never missed church, cause it was next door too. I collect these things to remind me of who I am and how I got there. And then I smile, cause when it is still cold and the trees are still bare I can get into my Dodge Ram and drive that 1200 mile and see it is still there.... at least enough to bring it back. Good ole days......... Where you can still get that Ice Cold Coke at a Country Store..............__________________________________________________________________________________________Coca-Cola trucks travel over 1,000,000 miles a day to supply consumers with soft drinks!____ There are 7,000 Coca-Cola products consumed worldwide every single second.____More than 5 billion bottles of Coca-Cola were consumed by military personnel during WWII.____In 1943, an American soldier stationed in Italy received 2 bottles of Coca-Cola sent from home.
