While visiting my parents. I used a clothes line to hang our towels and bathing suits. It was located in the same spot 30 years ago when it was my blessed chore to hang or gather the clothes off the line. In the 19 yrs. that I have been married I have never had a clothes line. Mostly, because apartments forbid them and my HOA, forbids clothes lines as well. I MISS having a clothes line. These things are ancient history to me. As ancient as an 8 track, a record player.
I was visiting a blog and in a picture she had a phone hanging on her wall. No big deal, right? Many of us have a phone hanging on our wall. What surprised me was I saw CORD hanging. These are so rare to see. I have one of these stored in my emergency kit.
I started thinking, a dangerous past time, I know. What is the oldest thing that we have in our home? My first thought was Mr. Incredible. He didn't think that was funny. He was quick to point out that there was something older in this house than 40 yrs. (like the dust) HARDY HAR HAR! But, no chance buster. This house is barely 11yrs old. He tries to be so FUN-NAY!
He reminded me that we have a few peices of furniture from the art deco period. About 1820 or so. Let's face it. I still have towels that were given to us as wedding gifts and most of the things in our home have been gifted to us.
Here is a picture of the oldest thing in our home. If you look really carefully you may get a glimpse of 11 yr. old dust. But, if you see that I will have to charge you a finders fee.

This IS the oldest thing in our home. I looked really hard for something awesome or maybe even funny to share. But NO GO!
