Moments of Memories

Sharing memories and coffee

with friends at McCrite:

not like a satiated feeling

after a full dinner. . .

But, more like dessert—

light and sweet and delectable.


Sharing laughter and stories

of our younger selves:

out-running the cops,

go-go dancing in discos,

walking along a wooded path, or

seeing a moose in New England.


Memories of our younger selves

Shared with hesitation and joy.

Getting to know each other like

flowers slowly blooming

Petal by petal: 

opening up our past,

with just a hint of our essence.


Memories of joy 

with coffee and friends

at McCrite.

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.
