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 think I need help, I just spent the good part of two days sorting matchbooks. Match books are a great collectible but difficult to display well at a flea market. People want to see certain matchbooks and will not take a lot of time to look, like everything else in our culture I was to be easy. So I sorted the last auction lot purchases into categories and combined them with others of like categories. Then put them all in four pocket plastic pages, fourteen to a page. Then labeled and priced and put into a three ring binder. People collect matchbooks for the Art work and Graphics, Or a location, A business type, A product, A memory and it goes from there. It is an easy type thing to collect, They don't take a lot of room, They don't eat much, They are low maintenance, and they won't break the bank collecting. The most in demand are the 1030's 40's and 50's and now 60's. Now that you have the low down on matchbook collecting go dig yours out and see what you have. Everyone of an older age has some someplace.

The little dog is on my lap as I type this, He does not seem to feel well today. It seems it maybe his ears, They are big enough to get caught in the door. At any rate he said hw would feel better is he could sleep with mom and dad tonight. I think he will.

I need to start thinking about ice fishing. I just brought up a Ice fishing box lot purchased a few months ago I need to sort. We will go up north on Tuesday next week. I expect to Ice Fish some. My brother says he is catching some legal walleyes of late. I could use a few walleyes for the freezer. We shall see. Have a Great Week and a Blessed Rest.
