Phoenix Phun Phor Phry Phamily, Part I

We will be coming back to Phoenix X for the Fry Family Reunion in June. We are hoping to bring some daughters and grandchildren. With that in mind, I decided to show them what a fun place this will be for kids. Of course there's the beach and shells and surf for fun, but even getting off the beach is fun.
They have cool board walks and hoses that you can squirt each other with all lined up!
Walk through the gate and there's a cool " Troll Bridge" you can walk over the "big" pool. or you can go around it and there's the "baby" pool.
This pool has a curtain of water cascading off the umbrella shape. If it rains or is cold, no problem.
There's an indoor pool. But, wait, there's more. . .
You can take a walk through their mini park-like setting.
You can play hide and go seek in the landscaping (until the sprinklers come on or the security guard finds you)
You can play tennis or if no one is out there---toss a softball back and forth like I saw yesterday. Nearby, is a more private entrance to the beach.
There are indoor activities, too!
If his mommy goes with him, Roman can enjoy the treadmill like he does at home---sorry, Roman, I couldn't find a trampoline. And, if all else fails. . .
they'll probably let you sweep a few floors, Roman. So, come on down for the Fry Family Reunion---60 years of Fry Fun! (The biennial reunion had been held since 1949!)

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.
