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 is a Sunday morning and the start of a new week. It has been two to three days of showers, Not heavy but wet. We needed it. I am glad though that I planted what I did when I did. We came upon a bag of Red Norland seed potatoes so I will be planting them here as soon as I can. I love those early new potatoes. Since it is an extra bag we will dig them when they are small. We are still using potatoes from last season but they are getting soft, Just about the end for them. At the north location I will plant the main Potato crop, Four bags of seed potatoes. But it is normally mid May before I can do it. I picked up my stash at the auction house Friday. I won a larger amount of things. So I will be busy in my free time processing the items. There is Repairs, Research, Cleaning, Taking photos, Listing and hopefully selling. Then it is Locating in storage, Paper work, Packing and mailing. By then I hope I have made a dollar. The rate per hour is pretty bad. But we shall see. I sure am glad I Love what I do and see it as curating and preservation for posterity. Everything can not go in the Landfill. Our first Flea Market is three weeks from today. The flea markets serve many purposes, one selling something and supplementing income, Two it is a social experience. We do not have much of a normal social experience, But the wife more then me. I am I think a mild recluse. It is good to talk to some real people that we share an interest with. The Little Dog Biscuit has had some bad news. He is going on a diet. Those Cairn Terriers have a way of getting to heavy to state it mildly. He loves his food and we like to give him treats. So now he needs to slim down some. I still need to carry him up the stairs and down. The begging is sure to get worse, and it is hard to stay disciplined and say no. I hope you have Great New Week where ever you are |
