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 Twelve + Day 13 Hello Grandkids and Others Did you notice it is now Three Score and Twelve? I have crossed another line in the sand. The years are going by faster all the time. if I am getting older you kids and grandkids are also getting older. Kathryn you have turned 50 this month. Lukas and Levi you have started 8th grade and are now top dog at your small school. And Lydia is now a senior at high school with choices that now need to be made. And Luis the Younger is at parochial grade school and maybe settling down a bit. And you Sonora Pearl have started a very well thought of private college. and Jordan you will graduate Marine boot camp the end of September. I am so happy with all of you. My family of children and grandchildren are and will be a great legacy. God has poured many Blessings on this Family. We all have much to be thankful for. My days here this time of year are hectic. It is harvest time from the gardens. And the harvest has been a good one. We now eat much from the garden and are also able to freeze and share with the neighbors much. But an early fall is coming up fast. I can see a time of coming of rest and maybe writing to you all more. We did a Flea Market last Sunday and we did better than I thought we would. We have another Flea Market this coming Sunday at a different location. Doing them back-to-back really beats me up. There is a lot of detail to take care of, Cleaning, Restoration if needed, Research and Pricing of items. Then the flea market set up, Displaying, Tear Down and driving each way. But there are rewards, Some monetary but know the flea markets are more than monetary. The flea markets have become our outside activity, A social event. That is important at this stage of the game. It is now our only social activity. We used to ballroom dance weekly. But that is now gone, no place to go. And there are some now health issues with strenuous dancing. We are hoping to take a bus tour next year if we can find a sitter for the little dog. So the little dog has curtailed us some. But as I say, "We Shall See" We are getting ready today to travel north. I need to get the tractor back from the repair shop, Nothing serious. The potatoes will need digging soon. and yard always need attention. I hope you all have a Blessed Week. |
