Psalm 90:10, "The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty if we are strong....
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 Ten + Day 56
We had a nice afternoon on Sunday Day 55, we went to the Milwaukee area and had dinner with my daughter and Son in Law. It was nice. My Son in Law likes to grill so he did and we ate outside. I am not big on grilling. We received a grill as a gift 24 years ago and have used little more the one tank of gas in that time, and that was used when the son in Laws visited. I put grilling right up their with camping or lying on a beach. I eat to live not live to eat.

Today early was a cool rainy day. We did not get a lot of rain but enough to stop the painting. So we made a run to the grocery, The Little dog needed dog food and Luna the cat needed cat food. We did manage a few items for the humans. I unpacked when I returned and then went and picked up Wheat Straw to cover the Strawberries and Garlic. Planting the garlic is on the top of the To Do List for tomorrow. It needs to get in now so it can root and establish itself before real cold weather. We normally cover with straw just before Thanksgiving. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to also do some painting. The days are getting few for painting weather. I think I am a good detail painter for about 3-4 hours then I start loosing my patience and I have to walk away from it.

How are you coping with this China virus? Being retired and a stay at home type I think it is easier for us to cope. We are not party animals here, Well maybe Biscuit and Luna can be party animals, but not us humans. So we have been keeping our normal routine, which helps keep a sanity about the whole chaotic condition. I am one of those people that tries to plan for all possible contingencies. But this virus hit me out of the blue, not something that I would have thought to plan for. But their will be better days ahead as God is in control, Count on it. May the Holy Spirit be strong within You.......... Fathertymme
