While visiting in Dallas a few weeks ago, we went to the art museum which has an awesome children's section with lots of hands on and child friendly exhibits. We made buttons for a happiness tree. Each person got to hang their button and take someone else's which they were to then give to someone else.
Then, there were places for the children to sketch tableaus.
Besides playing in the leaves, we decided to head to Eckert's to go apple picking, but we took a detour to see the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers----it is so surprising to see the differences in color and current!
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.
