We have two recliners that we use just about every day. They are well designed. They were rather expensive but we both thought good-looking. We sometimes disagree so when we agree on things, they are what we want. We have had the chairs for more than 20 years. Using them every day wears the leather out and they are in need of being recovered. So, the upholsterers came and took them. It is a shock to see those chairs gone.
In this small city and its suburbs, where we have lived for more than 4 decades, it is time that we feel most strongly. Doctors, dentists, officials, mechanics retire. They leave or are no longer available even though we have come to depend on them. Generally, we have good services and people are quite dependable. So, it is shock when years go bye and suddenly they announce that are no longer available.
I think it is a sign of the stability and reliability of local life that it is usually aging that makes changes in our commercial relationships. Even our clothes and things age. Our computers steadily age and the updates do their work but over time, it becomes clear that we would be wise to get new ones. Lynn is working on family history and she just came across a picture taken 13 years ago. I am wearing a shirt in the picture that she has never liked. Just a few weeks ago, I agreed to get rid of that shirt that was probably 10 years old when the picture was taken. Just another example of things aging and being taken by that old disrupter, time.
