My paternal grandparents lived to near 90. They lived on
what they called “slow time” & did not get all into doing
the time change thing twice a year. (They kept a clock set
for time changes in case they had an appointment.) They
had chickens for eggs, ate simple mostly vegetables and did
not live a fast life. Went to bed pretty early and lived a
simple life. Had a fairly large family & faced reality.
Only had radio for years. Grandmother didn’t have tv until
we bought her one much later in life. They always had a
phone, but used sparingly. We live too fast these days.

Phones are a love/hate thing with me. Didn’t feel this way until 10+ years ago when smart phones came to be and everyone turned into a zombie.
