A lot of these clothes came from either the sporting life where they were design for comfort and practical or from trades and professions that had these clothes tweaked until they were perfect. 

While they will sometimes storm the fashion runways with weird twists and novel colors there basic designs are so practical that they will never change. When should you invest in these classics? 

But what do you do if you are a single person in a world where most food comes for a family of four and you don't want to leave left overs in the fridge to spoil?

In the age of text messaging, e-mails and quick telephone calls you don't appreciate the beauty of the written hand until it suddenly show up in front of you, a casual note jotted out by an older person has you thinking, "I really should improve how I write." 

Handwriting was once considered a vitally important skill for anyone who wanted to appear well educated. Hours were spent with pen and ink perfecting cursive handwriting. For those that had a love of handwriting they could sign up for courses that would teach them fancier script still, like the famous Spencerian Script made famous through out America during the 1800's.

There are times that you want you handwriting to shine; when you are writing a loving note in a birthday card or holiday greeting. I treasure a simple thank you note my mother sent me years ago because the handwriting is so beautiful but also I can hear her voice on every line of the letter.
