Handmade with a Purpose
Our daughter Rachel is selling art this month to support a language program for her son (our grandson) Brett. Brett is one of many on the autism spectrum and has difficulty with language. Rachel has found a language program which helps him, but his school doesn't have it at this time. In honor of Autism Awareness month, she hopes to raise funds to purchase this program for Brett and the other children at the school with language problems Her work can be found at her
Etsy site.
Her friend has organized several crafty people who will be donating portions of their sales to a favorite charity---Rachel's is a part of this. Check out this site

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.
