      I'm 73 and my sister will soon be 70. We grew up on our Grandparents' farm in WV in the 50's.. the old ways just stuck with me.. their saving, use it up standards are just part of who I am.
      I don't think I realized how much so until my sister made fun of me for washing/reusing freezer and storage bags.. she said that I didn't have to do that because they had money to buy more.. lol

      @@Linnie1021 I'll be 65 and I guess I do the very same thing. I realized it when I'd washed the same freezer bag out for the 3rd or 4th time...BUT...I still used it. I just taped a note to throw it away after this use. If I don't; at least I might remember to buy a new box.

    Very clever re-purposing of just about everything, and best of all; it looks comfortable!
    How often does that happen?
    Most old school busses are sent to Central America to be used up and dumped with shocking rapidity, so they should be available and cheap if you can intercept them before they go.
