I love my water aerobics and water zumba classes at Wellbridge, our health club. But, I especially like the few classes they have outside at our old neighborhood pool in the summers!
We have about 20 years of great memories at that pool. I thought my daughters would be interested in seeing some of the changes that have been made. First, the railroad tie wall has been replaces with a stone wall.
More significant is the absence of the "baby pool" which has been replaced with a little deck and picnic tables.
The diving boards have been gone a long time, but the swim blocks are the same old swim blocks our kids jumped and dived off of 20 years ago!

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.
