    Mama Bear decided to repaint a built-in dresser in our house. We didn't touch it in the 10 years we have been here. Pulled the drawers out and found a neat little reminder of days gone by. Yes shiny new can be nice but I really think that back when the average person just made due with what you had or could make yourself, that as a society we were much happier and stronger of character. I wonder who made these and what year it was? 20191117_192200.jpg 20191117_192104.jpg

    Absolutely.................trouble is that the 12 year olds walking around with the latest I phone won't allow that to happen. We are on a path, down a hill and there is no turning back.

    I sort of agree except I do think it is possible to turn away from most of the BS that we see today. It will be a long road though.

    Might be for you and I, but society as a whole is getting flushed down the hopper quicker and quicker.
