Meeting the Princesses


 The Disney Cruise had many opportunities to meet characters and the Princesses.  One was a meet and greet in the main lobby.  We saw the lines and crowds and thought we could see them from one of the balconies. . .
 We watched them twirling in---one even saw us and waved.  Anna loved it, but. . . she wanted to go down to see them.
 We thought maybe taking her to the Disney store would distract her. . . But, she just wanted to go down to meet them.  Thankfully, this was a two-day event.
The next day, her daddy seeing how much it meant to her, took his book to read and was the first one in line.
 He had her Cinderella dress to change into, but she couldn't take the time to change---not with the princesses twirling in to see her.






As her dad said, she was awe-struck.  Not only were they beautiful, kind and gracious, but when they were headed back to their "castles" after the meet and greet, they would stop and talk to children along the way.

Aurora even took Anna's hand and walked her down the hall to the amazement and awe of many other princesses in training.

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.
