Since our room was so close to the Centrum, we often saw things like rehearsals that other might have missed. This looked so cool, I made a point of being there when they actually performed with lights and costumes.
I know I have at least one grandchild who will thing this is really neat. I heard so many say, "Oh, I could never do that." Funny thing, none were me---I used to LOVE swinging from trapezes and rings when I was a child. I still get a little giddy thinking of swinging upside down with my braids hanging down.
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.
