Cookie Cutter Crazy!!



               If you follow me on Facebook, you know of my many love affairs with photos, but probably the ones that make my heart skip a beat are the old homes, and the older the better! This blue beauty is one of mine, found on a county road just outside of town, I wander alot with my camera sitting next to me, just in case something catches my eye, like this one did! I have shot this house before, kept a eye on it through the seasons, all alone it sits, once the Hoover house, no longer a home. This breaks my heart but made me realize how our lives, including the world and events, can be blamed on our homes. Once the cookie cutter houses took over, so did the laziness for detail, hard work and morals, not to mention manners . I for one refuse to be cloned into thinking I must behave like everyone else or even believe that our government has our best interest at heart, I've seen how this is not true!

          So, maybe this why I long for the old homes, the old ways and that I look for respectable people to step up and try to turn this country around to better days, Mayberry days and Walton ways! Let's start with banning Honey Boo Boo and cartoons that promote stupidity! Send your children outside to know nature, teach them to plant a garden, catch a fish or play simple games. Turn off the tv, video games and be social again! Stepping down from my soap box now, to finish cleaning our home, the home were so blessed to live in and yes its old and not a cookie cutter copy of any other house around, and I like it that way! Amen!

  1. And sitting on front porches sipping lemon aide with the neighbors!! I fear those days of respect and self worth are almost a thing of the past. We have our memories and the ability to write about it left!

  2. Yep!!! My sentiments also. although the beautiful homes that we see generally were the homes of the wealthy folk and the every day joe s like us lived in the ramshackle home side by side that are long gone.
    I do agree with you about TV stupidity and general manners of the day. We need the government to stop telling us how to act and we have to get back to using our own common sense and stop being sheep. I have a soapbox about that too so I will step down with you and enjoy that cuppa cocoa with you. MB

  4. Well I kinda like seeing you on your soap box! I may just get mine out and we can compare notes!
    I feel the same way about the older homes. I will say to my hubby let's take the long way home through the older part of town. There's really only a few that some are still taking care of them.
    Can we stop the tide of this horrible decay of America?
    Blessings my friend!!
