We don’t need servants to light our lamps, wash and dry our clothing, clean our dishes, fire up the stove or stand and fan us in the summer time. Widespread availability of power for lighting, heating, cooling and running all of our various household appliances lets us live better than kings and queens of old. What makes your life rich?

People opened their windows and used attic fans or sat in metal lawn chairs outside to cool off. Thank you notes were hand written and sent via USPS, before we got to use the gift. Men opened doors for women, women said thank you to them. Most of us did not have air conditioned homes. Some of us did not have central heat.

Families are our rock, our support system, and our fans. Thanks for the honesty. Thanks for letting us know your secret. This past weekend I headed out west with my husband, brother, and his girlfriend to help my parents move into their new house. Family is there when you need a hand or some advice.
