Three Score and Ten the Introduction, Well here we go, After 50 years I am going to take another attempt at writing. The first time was the Palmer writers correspondence school in 1969. The writing will be not a book that will be written with the idea of being published, But will be a writing of thoughts unencumbered by possible publishing and monetary gain. This writing will be a hybrid of Journal and Reminisce. It is important to me that the writings are my true thoughts at the time, not influenced by any factor. The writing will try to explain how a 70 year old white, male USA citizen now relates to today's world. Is every oldest generation lost in their own world, that they aged into? What do I see, and feel as I age farther. I know I am not normal as in what this world today would consider normal. But I hope I am in the ball park writing the thoughts of a 70 year old. I hope for you to learn to know who I am, As I search for Who I am at 70+ This work will carry on until I am no longer able to think or write. This will be done on a nearly daily writing interwoven with a life's reminiscing. This writing has been in the planning for 10 plus years. and I have now made it to this starting point. This writing is dedicated to My Wife The Kitten, My family, My grand children, Lukas, Levi, Luis, Lydia and Sonora Pearl. I thank you God that you have allowed me to have your Three Score and Ten Time. |
| Three Score and Now Eleven + Day 155 Dear Grandsons It is day 155, What did I get done in the last 5 days? I have to think about it. I did some internet listings in the store, and there were mailings to do. We went to the city yesterday and grocery shopped. And there were not any Fireworks, But I did see sparks a couple of times. It went well with the exception of growing expense along some empty shelves. I sure am Thankful for our large gardens and a Wife that is a great cook and likes to do so. We do not need to buy premade or processed foods. Next up is the dreaded Property Taxes due along with property Insurance. we do plan for it during the year, so it is not a surprise. I have been paying property tax since 1974. It has been a pile of money. What is a surprise is the new Water Softener just installed? And now a bit later a new Wind Shield for the van. I had hoped I could put it off for a while, But the crack has grown. I will have it replaced soon, Note I am not saying when for sure. it is the time off year to now do the year end bookkeeping. It is interesting to plan for a coming year and then assess how you did at the end of the year. it is not written in stone, but it does give you something to shoot for. We are now starting the planning for this season's gardens. We will get seed and fertilizers' soon, maybe Friday. There are more gardens being planted all the time. Lukas and Levi you phoned on Monday evening. I am sorry I do not always have a lot to talk about. I am afraid at this age I do not lead a very exciting lifestyle. I can get about 6 good hours of physical activity out in a day and then I am tired. We stay close to home in winter. Thank You for calling. Having you phone is very important to me, For me to hear of your activities. I went to bed last evening about 8;30 I was very tired, and I am also tired now. I can tell I am again rambling. So, I need to end this. There is no good reason to bore all of you. Please have a Blessed Evening |
