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. |
| It was decided today that my youngest daughter will have dinner with us this Thanksgiving day. Her husband is going hunting with his brother in law in the north woods. We normally do not do Thanksgiving dinner here. We for a number of years went to dinner at a daughter in the Chicago area. They do not want to do it this year. They and the oldest daughter want to stay home, alone. This is the first time since they were born that we have not all been together a Thanksgiving Day, Thank You China virus. This is up setting and depressing for me. I expect Christmas dinner will be a similar situation. PROMPT November 6th Would you ever take a trip to a place "off the grid?" Where would you go? Although it is not completely of the Grid our compound in Northern Wisconsin is a close as I think I want to get at this time in my life. We do have electricity which is a must for me. We have a wood lot for firewood and supplement with propane when need be. There is no telephone or television, so we listen to music or read in the early dark evenings. The Wisconsin River is across the highway with a boat landing very close by, so fishing is an important activity. Other times are spent working the potatoes, strawberries and Blueberries and the flower garden. So we are not completely off the grid, we do have neighbors we see at times. but we are away from the stress of living in the midst of many people, noise and much vehicle traffic. It is our get away place north of the Tension Zone. PROMPT November 7th It's said beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Describe something that you think is beautiful or attractive that someone else might consider unattractive or ugly. Without thinking a long time I came up with, A Bog with its Flytraps and Pitcher plants and other flowering vegetation and insects. The best time to catch the bog in bloom is mid summer. In northern Wisconsin the seasons are fast. But even earlier or later the bog is beautiful to look at. It is a different experience waking on a bog if you have never done it. It moves, It floats, Its a mat of living and dead vegetation that is strong enough to walk on with care. I wish you a Blessed Good Night |
