Good Old Days

Things have gotten busy for us here. We’ve had to tighten our boot straps and dig in deeper than in times past. Everyone is feeling the crunch of the economy and that includes us.

I’ve noticed that gas prices have gone down some but I wonder if they’ll ever get down below two bucks a gallon again.

During these difficult times I’m reminded (strangely) of the more simple times in my life … the good old times, as some would say … I remember when you could buy a Coke for a dime. I remember when cigarettes were 55¢ a pack … not that I smoked back then … I remember when we all thought it was a tragic that gas shot up over two dollars.

Times they have changed. I feel pretty blessed to have lived and grown up in that simpler time. I just miss it so from time to time.

I’ll be glad when things get back to normal again … whatever that is. As if normal had some sort of meaning.
