Visitors are gone, but. . .

 Even after the visitors are gone, there are little reminders of their visit like the boxes of cereal,
 Towels and sheets to wash,
 Notes, and art and coupons,
 Bandaid wrappers,
Toys in the bath tub,

Art in the driveway,
Art turned around because it frightened a little girl,
A "blankie" left behind in a corner.  All of that can be thrown out, cleaned up, put back in its place, but would someone please get "Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog" from Disney Playhouse out of my head!  Click here if you don't know what I mean.

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.
