This was a wonderful week for my younger son, Mac, who purchased his first ever pickup truck! Going back in history, I will tell you that my father, whose life we celebrated on Father’s Day (he died in 2008) left school in the 8th grade to take care of my grandmother. He worked the same job in men’s retail clothing sales for 55 years. He told me even though his formal education was limited that he was smarter than this old lawyer will ever be and thankfully shared lots of wisdom with me. Two things particularly stand out. He said, “Mike, we Kelly’s are working men” and the second thing was, “We’re Ford men.”

Mac and I try to keep the tradition alive by only driving Fords or Lincolns. This week Mac took delivery of his dream truck, a 2022 Ford Ranger and is still in heaven. Every family needs a pickup truck and now we have one.

Give me a call or send me an email and I will make sure Mac comes to your house and gives you a ride!
