I think about this from time to time as well. Several things come to mind...we have more stuff these days which means most women work outside the home in order to own more. It also means we have more to maintain. People tend to spend more time driving to work as well. TV/internet consumes a lot of people's "spare" time. I haven't watched TV in nearly 30 years and don't miss it one bit. Now we have tv/internet/entertainment we can carry around in our pockets...(I do have a smart phone, etc, just wish people weren't so glued to them). We also live in a society that isn't really interested in knowing neighbors/helping others/etc for the most part.
So, Bearisgray, if you are ever in Arizona, drop in. I will probably be home, will welcome you in, put the kettle on and muffins in the oven and we can sit and chat. Bring your handwork with you
