Some folks complain about change in their lives. Others want to go back to the good old days. But, there are some things we wouldnotwant to go back to, such as outhouses on a cold winter day. We take indoor plumbing and toilets as a given, when we should be grateful for our warm seat!

Baby Boomers may

remember the cheeks’ cold chill

on a winter day

when seated on this throne

Grateful that those days are gone

    Hi, Frank! Happy to have come across your blog through the poets I follow. I am quite new and I am quite lost (I have always been bad at directions). I am searching for your prompts as I would love to join in. Thank you!
