🤔 1923-1973 Do You Remember...

Actually,I just replaced my very very old HVAC unit in my basement that had one of these old types.  The unit never got ran very much being in a daylight basement so it lasted and lasted - actually still OK when I replaced it - thought I better go ahead and do it because the new ones with the new type refrigerant cost more.  Now I understand that this conversion might be delayed by the new Administration.  Oh well, its done now.

The only problem that I ever had with this thermostat was that it was too high for me since I am very short - so I had to have a ladder to adjust it.  But I am use to things like that - every room has a ladder - not too high but does give that extra 12”.  

    ….and I hope you told her so! 😊

     I never nabbed an apple either - but I remember it being kind of like playing bumper cars with our heads with the added bonus of getting soaking wet - and I loved every minute of it! 🎃

   I remember this too.  We had two on the school playground along with a couple of seesaws, sliding boards, monkey bars, swings, and tether balls.

   This, as well as monkey bars, seesaws and tether balls have been banned from public playgrounds around here for quite some time now…..geez, but we sure had fun! 

    ….not such a stretch - one of the reasons that I enjoy Autumn is that it is the “time to light a fire in the fireplace” season!   Nothing beats raking leaves on a blustery day, chatting with neighbors, puttering around in the garage, then coming indoors to settle down in front of an open fire.
