Post First Communion Party


 After Mass, we returned home for a party! But, first the obligatory photos!


 Davis had a special treat---someone found a photo of his great-grandfather's first communion.
 And the glass candlestick in the photo----as a family historian, I was touched by the coming together of generations---100 years apart.
 We also had food, presents. . .
 and a chance to catch up with friends and family.
 What kind of family get-together would it be without dress-ups?  Libby is practicing for her First Communion.
 But, I am not sure what Davis and Roman are practicing for!

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.
