It's Not a Figment...The Purple Truck Exists!

Notes I did the HAPPY DANCE Today!! dancing dancing

For those of you who have been following my saga about The Purple Truck and the new-New Hampshire Legend

TODAY I FOUND THE PURPLE TRUCK ******

Meet Sam Cooper

This is Sam Cooper of Sam Cooper and Son Paving located in Bow, NH. Sam and his family have owned and operated a family paving business in the Concord, NH area for over 50 years. They deal primarily in home driveway installations and sealing but also take on Commercial projects.

The day I first saw the truck, there was no advertising on it. It was new and hadn't had the Company logo painted on yet!

Sam had made a trip to New Jersey looking for a truck. While there he saw a Purple one. He liked it so much he decided to "go purple" himself. He wanted to attract attention! Well he certainly did!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As usual I was headed in the wrong direction this AM when I spotted Sam's truck. Actually I was late to meet a ride to Manchester! But while I was scanning the sides of the road (I really have been looking) I saw it...I saw it! I grabbed my cell phone and SCREAMED to my husband to GET THE CAMERA. I told him where the truck was and as you can see he was kind enough to head right down.

So mystery solved!... And even though that's what I wanted...it makes me kind of sad. I'm going to miss looking for that Purple Truck!

Joan, that's a first for me....I actually LIKE that purple truck! Talk about standing out from a crowd :) And I love your animation. Thanks for an adorable post.

Thanks Carole...now I have to find another Quest!!

Did I see a pig flying down the street. I found an orange house today. I mean bright orange. I will have to take a picture of it for you.

Well if you can find a purple truck, you can accomplish just about anything! So shift your focus to something you really want and go for it!

John-Hey maybe you have the subject for a whole new Blog! Do post a picture...there's so little to chuckle at these days...we could all use it! Flying Pig

This One's For You!!

Well John- I found a bright Kelly green house with white shutters and shamrocks on them! I am going to snap a photo of it! LOL!

John N-My problem is...I want it all!

Oh Maureen...I want to see too!

Great post. You know if you find the purple truck you get a prize..... luv it!

I have been alerting all my friends and colleagues to keep their eyes open for the purple truck! I can't believe you found it. Even more so, I can't believe your husband ran out with his camera to capture the moment! I am glad I don't have to keep an eye out for the truck this weekend -- I am off to the Ribfest and to see the Clydesdales in merrimack.

So Joan you mean you did not get to use all of those detective/spying techniques we commented about?

Well, I am glad you found your truck safely and while looking for the past few weeks did not crash.

Now off to the next quest. What shall it be?!!!!!

Thanks Erik...it was fun!

Joan...I'm jealous! That sounds like a blast.I'm working Saturday...would be great if I had a sale! But, will try to go to my Dads in maine afterwards.

A Rib fest huh.....yummm

Mana...I have no idea but I have to find something...it gave me a sense of adventure!

YAY!! Joan!! This guy knows how to "Brand" himself huh? How cool! The mystery is solved :) I knew you could do it!

Joan,

Mission accomplished! What a clever way to stand out. Whats your next adventure?

Joan- I remember your post about the purple truck- CONGRATULATIONS! I was so fascinated with the dancing babies that it took me a moment to finish the post- you're hilarious!

Lysa...he sure does! And to think I knew him when!....

Suzanne...I have no clue ...got any ideas?

I love those babies....maybe I should have put up 10 or so...wouldn't that have been a sight!

Thanks for checking in!

Hi Joan!

Love the story of the purple truck!

I need to find the photo of the Easter Egg house in Sedona and send it to you.

Huggs,

karyn

Joan - Congratulations! Nothing like a little Yankee Determination to solve a puzzle!

And Bow is such a pretty little town. I sure miss that area. Sigh....

Hey Karyn...great to see you!

Carol..Thanks for commenting! Where are you from?

Joan - currently I am a proud resident of Toledo, Ohio. But I was born in Cambridge, MA and grew up in Boston. Grandparents had a farm up in Jefferson Meadows/Twin Mountain and we always went trekking around the state every summer. We had friends/pseudo relatives in Franklin and Tilton, and some old family friends over in Rumney. It's a wonderful area, but has gotten so expensive in comparison to where I am now. We went back to visit about 3 years ago and so much had changed. I kept getting lost when I left Lowell and went into Nashua. It was almost embarrassing.

Carol...nice to meet you! I'm only 1/2 hour from Franklin and Tilton and our best friends live in Cambridge (near the Science Museum)

Nice to meet you, too! Maybe if I can get back up there next spring I will have to call you and have coffee! That would be a hoot!

In Merrimack there used to be a little restaurant on the main drag that had a black silhouette of a horse and buggy as their 'shingle' outside. I can't remember the name of the place though. Do you know which place I'm talking about?

And there was a wonderful restaurant heading up the mountain in Campton called the Scandinavi Inn. They had the absolute best Shorehouse Casserole I've ever had!

I'm getting 'homesick' now! LOL

I don't get down to Merrimack . I'll have to ask someone who knows that area! We usually head up Campton way at least once a year so will have tocheck that place out.

Just mark the 2 NH groups and you'll get lots to fill the homesick space!
