The photo is my son and myself. Now days you can get a photo made to look old like this one. This photo was taken when this was the new look.

Harry S Truman was president when I was born and world war II had ended. I grew up in a time when lunch was put in a brown paper bag and a sandwich was wrapped with wax paper. There was no such thing as pantyhose, we wore stockings that attached to the rubbery clippy things that attached to the girdle. Convenience stores were not common and when we took a trip we packed a picnic basket because many places did not have fast food. Highways had places to pull over and stop, some with picnic tables.

I have some spring cleaning and decluttering to do. I have way more stuff than I need but I get overwhelmed with the logistics of getting rid of things. I decided to look for some encouragement so I have been reading these old posts again. Out of all that I have read, I am focusing on five words to encourage me. They are "Make your house a home." My house isn't feeling very homey right now but I want to focus on even what small steps I can take to make my house more comfortable and homey. Thanks for this great article, as well as the rest of the fine articles you've put out. I find your articles inspiring.
