The “New” Fireplace

Whenever my parents come to my home I am always sure to clean more than ever and have the place in tip top shape.

My parents are always amazed at the new technology I have all over the place.They haven’t yet gotten used to all the technology that I have in my home and they haven’t really adjusted to a lot of technology in their lives in general.

My dad still has a flip phone and neither of parents would ever think about sending a text message. They think a lot of my home features just mean that I am lazy. My voice controlled lights, locks, and television are just over the top for them. When they came over last week, I think they were more shocked than ever by my gas fireplace. I think it was the first house they have been to that did not have what they called a “real” fireplace. But I tried to explain that this one was much safer, and that I didn’t have to worry about getting burned or anything flying out of the fire. I didn’t have to worry about the exposed fire hurting anyone or even the mess it could cause. My Propane gas logs are better for the environment and could easily be turned on and off with a switch. The propane was a great energy source and was way better for the environment than any wood. I explained the benefits to them over and over, and all they could ask was that if I wasn’t going to have a traditional fireplace, then what was the point? I explained that it was still used to heat my home and of course the appearance of it was attractive as well. None of this went over well and I knew it might take a few more visits for my parents to understand.
