Season's End

We are sorry, but think it is the end of Cardinal Season. What---doesn't everyone decorate for Cardinal Season from April until . . .we give up or the World's Series.
Dave was a little sad to see me taking all of his Cardinal decorations down when. . .
It's still September.
I tried to console him that it's Fall and time for Mizzou football. . .
He did get me to promise that I'd get it all out of storage if a miracle happens and the Cardinals have a post-season!

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.
