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 must truly be spring, I got Spinach and Radishes planted today, it's a start. The planting is two weeks ahead of last year. It should be good, Rain and showers here for a few days. No real cold ahead I can see. We will be leaving for Kentucky in a week. So there will be no more planting until we return. We have every thing uncovered and cut back all that needed it. It looks like we have ignition, This Spring is a go. Prompt, Write about your earliest memory. Try to describe it in as much detail as possible. This is a interesting prompt I wanted to write on. it is something I have thought about at times. It is a peak into my future life. I have two instances which one is earlier I do not know. They should be about the same time frame. I would think I was three to four years of age. I do not think I was yet in school. The first was, My mother at that time needed to go out after the cows for milking from a wood pasture about a quarter mile from the barn and at times she would take me along, me walking some and being carried some. As I remember it we were singing Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer, still one of my favorite songs. It was later the first song I sang for an audience at school, First Grade. At any rate when Rudolf goes down in history I asked my mother What is history. I think that must have had a real chore to explain history to a 3 or 4 year old. I am still a history buff and I know have my definition of "What is History" The second situation I must have been about as old and older. I remember rocking in my Great Grandfather's pressed back wood rocker. [I sure would love to have that old rocker, I think it got broken up for firewood when needed]. I rocked to the music of the radio singing away. The songs I remember and still sing are Pennies from Heaven, Mr. Sandman, and the Naughty Lady of Shady Lane. When ever I here them I time travel a long way back. They are still some of my favorite songs. "Thank You for the Memories" |
