Time Keeps on Slipping, Slipping into the Future

Today while browsing through a sales circular from a major discount store, I was shocked to see the price of an ironing board--$29.95! I said to Mr. Fixit, “I need a new ironing board, but I never paid more than $15.00 for one.”

He said, “You haven’t bought one in probably 35 years.”

“No, I bought one a few years ago. It was right after we moved here. That would be about 25 years ago.”

I finally heard from my nephew in Kentucky today. Their electricity was restored yesterday. I was really worried about them because they have a new baby. They seemed to have "weathered the storm" okay. Thank Heaven!
