Eli Going Home

Eli and I decided to make cookies for him to take to his mom and dad.
We decorated them. . .

baked them. . .and put them in containers for his mom and dad.
We had some cookie scraps for Grandpa to sample. . .and Eli.
Eli was so happy to get home and see his sister Anna.
Although we decided she didn't look very much like Eli, he pointed out that she had a nose and HE had a nose; she had a mouth and HE had a mouth. . .
I think all of that finger pointing made Anna a little nervous. . . she had her eye on Eli.

Speaking of eyes---if you enlarge this photo you will see the miracle of genetics. I think she will be blue-eyed despite having two brown-eyed parents. She does have 2 blue-eyed aunts: Cara (Warren) and Rebecca (Morgan)!

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.
