Happy Birthday, Sis!

Happy Birthday, Jane! I remember your birth in 1948 like it was yesterday. Well, maybe it was a week later. . .I remember hearing everyone say how much you looked like Grandma Wicker. . . and my first peak in the bassinette was in disbelief---how could anyone think this baby looked like Grandma Wicker? OK, now you look like a 52 year-old woman and although you still don't look like Vennie, you do have her ways! (This is my favorite photo of you. . . I know it wasn't taken last week, but. . .) Hope you have a great birthday and hope you do something very Vennie-like---have a cup of tea, work on a craft project, or be adored by your husband! You deserve it all! We love you!

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.
