Super Grandma

Hair crinkling in my ears,
Clothes rustling when I move,
Floor squeaks with every step.
Heightened reality from drugs? 

Refrigerator door creaking open,
Microwave barking that it’s ready,
Furniture squeaking when I sit and
My computer clickety-clacking while I type.
Poltergeists?

No. . .hearing aids. . . . 

Able to understand a cell phone call 
without putting it on speaker.
Able to understand Libby telling me about her friend
without having to read her lips.
Able to understand British mysteries
without having closed captions.

New super powers!

See if you need super powers, too!

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.
