Eli had a smaller birthday party this year in his back yard---the weather was perfect!
First, the children opened up their nature kits--magnifying glasses, nets to find creatures hidden around the yard.
Some needed a little parental help.
After the hunt and playing in the sand and water, it was time for the cake!
Yum, the cake and ice cream sundaes were delicious!
A little more play time. . .
Then, time to unwrap the presents.
And play with them. . .
A good time was had by all---parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, friends and children!

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.
