littlee luxuries

I am basically a lazy person and so I appreciate modern conveniences, and even sometimes semi-modern conveiences.  I happened to be driving on a blustery day in Amish country not long ago and that made me really appreciate having a car with a heater.  I don't have a heated steering wheel in my car but still it's better than holding tthe reins of a horse while riding in an open buggy.  Indoors I appreiated all the usuals like heat, electric lights, running water, my microwave and so on.  But my very favorite luxury item on a cold night like this is my electric blanket.  I like to pre-heat my bet so I'm not crawling in between icy sheets.  I di know that in the good old days they would run a pan full of hot coals betweem the blankets (or use a hot brick) to get the same effect but flipping a switch seems much easier.  Well, I'm pretty sure my bed is warm by now, so good night.
