New Houses!

The Warrens bought a lovely home in McKinney near one of my high school friends who also just moved there in March. First, the Warrens' new house.
 As you enter their house, the living room is to your left where the piano also is.
 The dining room (with my sister Jane) is down the hall.
 Between the living room, guestroom/study and dining room is this open area across from the dining room.
 Next comes the kitchen and family room.  Above are Leah and Richard in the kitchen
 Todd, Doug (my nephew) and Eli are in the family room. . . .
 With Dave in the recliner :-)

Not too far from Leah and Todd's, is my friend Kathy with whom I was in Girl Scouts, German class and church.  Kathy stopped by to see us at Leah's and invited us over to her "new" home which was very elegant.

My favorite was their outdoor living space, fireplace and beautiful view.
Kathy's favorite is her beautiful wood paneled study (including a paneled ceiling).
Her husband, Lee, is standing by the most elegant garage cabinets I've ever seen.  These maple cabinets were salvaged from their new house that caught fire.  McKinney is very lucky to have two such wonderful families join its community!

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.
