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 Now Eleven + Day 231 Wow, it is time I fill you all in on what is going on in our world. A major happening is I broke my glasses. I was badly due for new glasses, but it would have been nice to have the old until I had gotten the new. The ones I am wearing 20 plus years old without the bifocals. So, I cannot see book print. we went up north this past week and I could not see to read. It is also difficult to do mailing of sales, type and write. I should get the new glasses in about 10 days. I am going to let the cataracts ride yet. I told the eye doctor I was going to outrun them. As for up north there is still much snow and ice. I did get ice fishing and may be able to next week when we go back. I did get some crappies with my brother. The spring down here has been cold and wet. I still have not uncovered most garden and perennial things. I hope to get it done this week. I did get the Potatoe, Onion and Shallot sets but it will need to dry out a lot. We need some warm sunny days. We did have one nice day a little while back and managed to get some garage painted before the flowers grow tall and in the way. We have some raspberry plants coming to plant down here. and a Mountain Ash tree for up north to plant. The birds love the Mountain Ash. We have also been busy marking and getting ready for our Flea Markets. The first one being May 1. I hope it is good weather. it sure has been tough buying at a good price for reselling. Maybe I am just to tight fisted. I am old enough to remember when a five-dollar bill meant something. Now that seems to be a 20.00 bill. But I will get along. Luna the cat just jumped up on my lap wanting attention. That cat sure misses us then we are gone. He is ornery when we return demanding attention. Another notable thing that is happening is our Granddaughter Sonora Pearl is getting ready to decide on next years college. She is a High School senior this year. He Has I think decided on a great school. I would call it one of the best in the state. It makes me very proud of her. She wants to study marketing and advertising. She is a Serious Studious Determined girl not afraid to exert herself. But the money it will cost. But at her age it is damn the torpedo's full speed ahead. I do worry about her and pray for her. But I do remember being her age once, and as determined. To all and you guys Lukas and Levi and Luis I have an online auction to tend to. Just maybe there is something for me. Have a Blessed Evening |
