Our dearest neighbor who Ive called Mrs. B for almost 40 years (and taught my children and grandson to call her this) has recently become a widow, her husband commuting...
Morals and manners...they are almost as rare as foie gras is in a California restaurant!!
(My grandson is going to stand out like a sore thumb at school with his good manners!!!)
Everyone now seems all consumed with themselves, 'me first, I'm more important', judging others...I know other eras...
Its the rare person who doesn't get a new vehicle every few years! Using a car till its life is over has disappeared for the majority of people.
