RE: My great, great grandparents.
Great picture! If they could talk!
By the way, nearly everything you see in the picture is handmade and probably locally fabricated. How our society has changed in the last hundred years.
I know! It would be awesome to sit and talk with them. I love looking at the pattern on the quilt in the background. It really does make me sad. Even though I'm as guilty as anybody, I despise the "throw away culture" with a very few positive exceptions, that improve sanitation, etc. That was a time when folks built stuff to last, and fixed things.
Still, we can quilt today or spin and knit as a pastime occupation, plant some fruits in a community garden and bake our own bread, or use our old bike...
