Happy Birthday All!


March 26 holds the record for friend and family birthdays. First up are Dave's late twin aunt and uncle---Alfreda and Alderson!
On the left is my dear friend Carol whom I went to high school with. She and I lived in Germany at the same time and quickly became "family."
Next is Jo, the wife of Dave's high school friend Elliott. Oh, the many hours antiquing and playing Royal Rummy when we were young!
Back to family---Dave's nephew (in the center) Scott. He doesn't usually wear Cardinal gear---that was for Leah and Todd's wedding rehearsal. He's pictured here with his mother Karen and cousin Dale.
Last, but not least, our dear Christi: friend and niece-in-law!

To all of you--Alfreda, Alderson, Carol, Jo, Scott, Christi. . .
We wish you all a Big, Giant Happy Birthday!

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.
