those pioneers!

There's an old Pioneer saying that goes, "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without."

We like that saying.

In fact, that saying inspired the above picture.

These pieces used to be a nice, expensive Rowenta Iron.
An iron we bought a little over a year ago.
An iron that has a one year warranty.

Years ago, for my high school graduation I received an iron as a gift from my Aunt and Uncle. It was your average iron, nothing fancy about it, except that it would automatically turn off when left alone for too long. (A feature my Dad specifically requested. He was constantly nagging me about burning the house down with the iron. Pshaw!)

That average iron worked splendidly from 1990 to 2008. EIGHTEEN YEARS!

We upgraded in 2008 to the Rowenta.
Now just over 1 year later, we will be buying another iron.

As for the Rowenta?
We used it up,
We wore it out,
We tried to make it do.
And now,
we'll do without.

We've had our iron since before The Hubster left on his mission (well, HE had it). He left in 1995........and it is still going strong! No bells. No whistles. Definitely will burn the house down one day if I'm not careful.
