Old vs New

Stonehill Apartments, the complex in which we now live, is old enough to vote. The sign out front says, “luxury apartments.” And they were. When they were built. Back when this was new, apartments did not all come with underground parking nor built in microwaves and dishwashers. Over the years many improvements have been made. Like central air conditioning units for each apartment.

But, not all the improvements have been done to all the apartments. For instance, our unit came to us with the original microwave. No turntable. No “minute” button. No “popcorn” button. And not nearly as much power as the rating on it said. It took a long time to cook anything in it.

Today we got a brand new microwave.

With all the bells and whistles we had come to take for granted.

We are thankful.
