Three Score and Ten [Now Thirteen

by Fathertymme, "Cold Durry Days"

Rated: 13+ · Book · Biographical · #2232901

Psalm 90:10, "The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty if we are strong....

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.

I'm glad to see you back. I take spells too for a lot of your same reasons. I like reading about all you do!

Take care and post when you can.

Yesss... I was starting to worry. The sad part of that? I'm spread thin. I get so easily overwhelmed that I don't always make the first effort to keep in touch.

As in... my brother-in-law died August 15th. I found out when I called my sister on the 22nd for her birthday (August 23rd). I don't forget my sister's b-day... I usually just forget to call.

And that's my life. At some point I just throw up my hands. It is what it is.

I'm having computer issues but I use my phone as a hot-spot so that works really well in Thailand. In Montana? We shall see. I may need to cut back and that's not all bad.

Glad to read about the eyes, the fish, and the garden.

Good to see an update. Have you tried an eye-patch? Regardless, you'll need new glasses come August.

At 71 I'm slowing down and being very careful; but, this year in Thailand has helped: not living alone, working out every day, swimming most every day, getting out of bed (number 1 most important task).

I keep track of new routines to establish new habits. "I may be slow but it gets done."

It's nice that you got to visit with your daughter and granddaughter. Good luck with the flea market!

University was up and down for me. My 5th semester (first at U. Kansas) was the best.

Very cold here in Montana. Snow and below freezing temperatures. Thailand is hot and mostly dry. I want to go back a.s.a.p.

My eyes, ears... but I've lost some weight and that helps my legs and climbing the stairs.

It's fabulous that you don't have a retinal disease. Good luck with the cataract surgery when it gets scheduled. Maybe a friend or neighbor would help with the assembly of a new kayak.

Blessings to you and your wife.

In response to "Today A Down Day"

I just blah-blah-blaahg. It really doesn't matter. But it helps me keep track of the days and reminds me that I do accomplish something in spite of my depression.

That has lifted a bit. Coming to Thailand has been challenging, but good mentally. It forces me to pay attention to the present (as my Montana routines are upended) and my future looks very different than a year ago.

Off to Thai language class today. It's a pink day, a Tuesday...

Three Score and Ten + Day 322, Big Trout

We are getting ready to leave for the Northwoods Haven. it is always nice to get there and good to return. There are no distractions up there. just a feeling of peace. I need the less stressful environment at this time. The fellow who is supposed to be roofing has been a real disappointment. I am not sure he know what end is up. I made a mistake hiring him. I will be so glad to I hope get the garage roof done. A simple garage roof is a slam dunk, No rocket science. He is supposed to show earlier tomorrow morning and work till it gets to warm. He may bring some help. I just do not understand how he operates a business.
Up north this trip I will finish planting the perennial flowers. I hope it will not be to wet to hill the potatoes. They are up and should be ready to hill. We shall see. I hope I can get some quality fishing time in. It has been hard to find time to fish down here. It seems I am not as enthusiastic as I once was. It has been to warm to comfortably fish in a kayak. The heat gets me know and tires me out. I am happy that you Lukas now have a good size trout under your belt. I think the you are the one now hooked. I will wait for you and your brother Levy to get a nice bass boat and take me fishing, It won't be to many more years.
We are working mornings and evenings in garden here. We are harvesting Peas, Black Raspberries, Romaine Lettice and today our first Eggplant. It was good for a change. I still have some chores to do. Soooo I will write of the goings on in the north when we return.
Guys turn out that light, and close the Chicken House Door. The rest of you along with the grandkids have a Blessed Evening.
