Trash or Treasure?

 I love children's art work.  I have my grandchildren's art prominently displayed on my fridge. . .
 Going down the steps to the basement. . .
 And on the wall in my basement. . .kids, we may need to update these.  I even have my own children's artwork still on display in the stairway going upstairs.
 But, I have recently found a sizeable box of art from the past---these have no names on them.  So, ladies---you call it "trash" or "treasure".
 These did have titles "Brontosaurus" and "Winter Tree".
 String art?  Study in brown and black? Stream of consciousness in art?
 This definitely has a spring time air to it.
And this one is maybe titled, "Minnie Strikes Back" or "Don't you touch that flower, or else!"  So, daughters dear, please tell me if you want any of this art (a treasure) or it is. . .trash.

The spring artwork is really pretty. Although not knowing if it's mine or not ... I don't think I want it. The Minnie & Mickey is hilarious. :)

Between Two Worlds

Most of my life, I've considered it fortunate that I was just ahead of the Baby-boom. Generally, the Baby-boomers were born between 1946 and 1964 after the fathers returned from World War II. It was a huge population explosion that has reverberated through American society.

This blog will be part history, part memories, part reflections of a retired teacher, but active "Senior". I have always felt like I straddled two generations forming a bridge. Sometimes I think like a baby-boomer, but sometimes I'm locked into my parents' Depression era thinking. I'm a dichotomy of two eras. But, I'm always ready to try something new---so here I am dipping my toes in the water of Blogworld.
