A Kansas City Visit

We made a brief trip to Kansas City to celebrate Davis's 7th birthday.


His siblings and cousins could hardly wait to have a piece of that delicious looking brownie!

But, before that Brett tried to see if Louie remembered his "tricks".

And, Roman had a lot of Legos the cousins could build with.  Davis could hardly wait to build the Ninjago kit he got for his birthday.
 Although he asked for my help, he built almost all of it by himself.


Libby showed her usual sense of style while riding her stick unicorn. Libby:  I want my boo socks. Grandma:  BLUE socks?  Libby:  no, BOO! socks!  Just so you know the "Boo! Socks" were a deliberate choice to go with the rainbow dress.
I did help Brett with some homework after school---as you can see, he didn't mind the homework too much. . . .we did math and science dealing with the properties of matter. . . yes, third grade. . .properties of matter.

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.
