withstanding the test of time


a former neighbor who has been based in canada for years now visited my parents' place this evening.  she was with her husband and daughter and she was pointing out to them certain parts of the house where her old pictures were taken.  the husband said the place looked just like how it was in the pictures.  note that the pics he was referring to were taken oh soooo many years ago.

it called to mind remarks made by a high school buddy a few months back.  last time she was at my parents' place was when we were in college.  she kept marveling about how furniture and stuff were still the same ones that were there back when we were in high school, uhm, more than 30 years ago.

hmmm...  come to think of it, they're right...  my parents' furniture and a host of other things in the house have remained the same for ages, hehe.  they're still durable though.  and they don't look dated to me.  i guess some things are really built to last...
