Grandchildren Entertain Part I

 First Davis and then Libby, dressed in the pirate costume, Libby choosing to wear the beard on her head.

 Then, she wore her tu-tu. . . .backwards.
 Nothing quite like chocolate ice cream!
Davis had a new trick with a spoon on his nose.  He tried hopping, but I suggested he try singing.  Click here.
 He enjoyed putting some Legos together while easting his ice cream.
 After ice cream, we went shopping in the Cabinet of Wonders in a local children's book store.  The money was donated to Joplin relief and the crap wonders in the drawers included rocks, pogs, baseball cards, lost sunglasses, puzzle pieces. . . .
 Davis wanted to use my iPad, but when I told him I was using it, he asked to play games on my phone which I wished him luck on.  He had never seen a phone with an antennae!
 Brett loves Wii!
 And, I love watching him play---he is really very good and makes it all look so easy.
He found a secret hiding place in the children's book store.  We had a great visit with the Twenter family!

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.
