Feeling Older?

Does having your cherished family ornaments referred to as "retro" make you feel a little older, Thirtysomething? It makes me happy that they were a hit and brought back some good memories to those who saw them.

The star on your animal tree sat on top of Christmas trees in our home from about 1970 (maybe a year earlier) on. I still remember buying it at the old McConnell's 5&10 on Oak Street in McRae, Georgia. Wow! Now that dates me!

If your visitors thought those were retro, they need to take a look at those in my attic. Some of them go back at least to the 50s . Many are still pretty but are so dated you never see them anymore. Time changes things but doesn't always improve them.
