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. |
Well here in South Central Wisconsin we are hitting the bottom of winter this week. I got the snow taken care of for the time being. I can not back out the driveway any more as the snow banks are too tall to see on coming traffic. We are on a busy highway. Early tomorrow morning it is supposed to get to -12 real temperature. I will let the kitchen sink faucet drip, as the kitchen is over a crawl space on the end of the house. I have a heat lamp plugged in and heat tapes on the water pipes going under the kitchen in the crawl space. The north and west sides of the house are banked with snow past the siding. I have closed tight and sealed our west facing door. We will use the east door for the next ten days. The van is parked and there will be little travel. I think I have done all I can to prepare for the cold blast. I now Trust in God to see us through the next cold days. My daughter and Son in law visited today for a couple hours. so I got to see my youngest grandson and daughter. It is hard to believe that the oldest grand daughter had to work and could not come. Where have a years gone too. She works at Wendy's but is still in High School as an honor student and quite the responsible serious seventeen year old. Sonora Pearl makes her family proud. Her younger sister Lydia is following right behind her, a year and a half. I was very happy to see them. My family has always been number one on this earth, and as I age they are more important then ever. I miss seeing them. On a brighter outside note, The garden seeds arrived today. I ordered from Victory Seed Co. They support the preservation of heirloom seed varieties which I like. They were reasonable and had varieties I was looking for. I also now have the Blueberry plants ordered for The north compound, six plants to add to the others. They will arrive the end of May. And get this Jimmy the Ground Hog in Sun Prairie DID NOT see his shadow. Ground hogs day is always a big occasion for me. So it may be cold today, things are looking up for spring. And I could not end this entry without mentioning I got a nice bunch of fish on the past Tuesday and Wednesday. For me and the wife we packaged it for 4 meals. It was Blue Gills and one very nice Bass. Stay warm and be careful in the cold, May God Bless You |
