In an Alpine Meadow





 Sitting on a blanket

in an Alpine meadow.

“Grass greener than green 

And the sky bluer than blue”

On a sunny afternoon.


What was it we talked about?

Was it politics, music?

Or did I read a book?

on a blanket in an Alpine meadow 

on a sunny Afternoon.


Maybe we just enjoyed the moment:

Listening to the jingle of cow bells

With someone to love

On a blanket in an Alpine meadow

on a sunny Afternoon


The twinkle of your eyes

Glancing over at me,

The big grin:

Not politics,music or reading

On a blanket in an Alpine meadow

On a sunny Afternoon.

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.
