Out with the Old…or Not!
A phrase that we hear frequently around January 1st. is “out with the old, in with the new.” Sometimes it’s a good thing to get rid of the old, but sometimes it’s not quite so good. I started looking around to see what old things Alan and I have, and it turned out to be a lot! No, we are not hoarders, but if something we own still serves its purpose, it gets to stay.
Here’s a list of the old things I found:
Alan’s beach towel (he got it for h.s. graduation gift) – 1991 – 20 years
Alan’s clock radio – (he used it in h.s.) 1990ish – 20+ years
Honda Accord – bought it new in 1997 – 14 years
Kim’s leather sandals – 1993 – 18 years
Hair dryer (we just had to throw it out) – 1997 – 14 years
Clothes hamper (got it when we got married) – 1995 – 15 years
Gold earrings I got as a good-bye gift from my workplace in Bowling Green, KY – 1983 – 27 years
Knife set (got as a wedding gift) 1995 – 15 years
Kim’s long black winter coat – 1992 – 19 years
What are some old things that you have and still use?
