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.

Three Score and Now Twelve + Day 20
Hello Grandkids and Others

I should phone you guys and see how your camping trip of Labor Day weekend. But maybe tomorrow night. I always put off talking on the phone. It is always stressful for me, so I do something else first until there is no good time left to phone. If there is something important to talk about, I am fine, but i would rather talk face to face. As for phone small talk I am no good at it. I never learned the art of small talk conversation. There evidently is a talent for that. I have a problem with small talk even in church. I will at time try to avoid people, so I do not have to small talk. I do not mean to be rude; I just do not know what to say. It all seems so phony looking for something to say.

We did a Flea market on Sunday. The second in two weeks. Doing two in two weeks really wears me down. We did okay but not great. It is a good thing we do not do it just for the money. It is an activity outside of the house. Along with a social activity for me but mostly for the wife. She loves people just like our Cairn Terrier does. But at times it has caused her problems. We have one more market this season, Mid October. Then we put it all away until May next year. By then I am ready to rest.

We are starting to see the end of the garden season also. It has been a productive season so far, with more produce to bring in. We are so Blessed that we have a space with good soil and sun. That we still have the ability to do the physical work. And that we still have the desire to do it. The biggest Challege is that my battery runs down easily, so I know need to pace myself. The wife helps where she can but does have limitations also.

It is now getting late, and I still want to do some reading. So, all have a Blessed evening.
