Three Score and Ten the Introduction, Well here we go, After 50 years I am going to take another attempt at writing. The first time was the Palmer writers correspondence school in 1969. The writing will be not a book that will be written with the idea of being published, But will be a writing of thoughts unencumbered by possible publishing and monetary gain. This writing will be a hybrid of Journal and Reminisce. It is important to me that the writings are my true thoughts at the time, not influenced by any factor. The writing will try to explain how a 70 year old white, male USA citizen now relates to today's world. Is every oldest generation lost in their own world, that they aged into? What do I see, and feel as I age farther. I know I am not normal as in what this world today would consider normal. But I hope I am in the ball park writing the thoughts of a 70 year old. I hope for you to learn to know who I am, As I search for Who I am at 70+ This work will carry on until I am no longer able to think or write. This will be done on a nearly daily writing interwoven with a life's reminiscing. This writing has been in the planning for 10 plus years. and I have now made it to this starting point. This writing is dedicated to My Wife The Kitten, My family, My grand children, Lukas, Levi, Luis, Lydia and Sonora Pearl. I thank you God that you have allowed me to have your Three Score and Ten Time. |
Three Score and Now Twelve + Day 111. 12-06-22 Hello Grandkids and Others An Update. I am still here. We had a very nice Thanksgiving dinner here. Almost all of the Grandkids and parents were here for a very good meal together. They brought the meal to be finished here so the wife would not be stressed by making the large meal. We provided the serving dishes and the central location. That was nice we did not have to drive. The wife gets stressed driving and overreacts which unsettles me. We will do the Christmas dinner here and they will bring the sides. We have the room and large table and the central location. Nobody drives a real long drive. We went to my brother's house about two hours away last week for an early Christmas party. All of my Seven brothers and their wives were there. One came from Texas and one from Missouri. One brother is no longer with us physically but was there in Spirit. My brother lives in a retirement community next door to the club house. He is blind and his wife is not well. He gave up his home about two years ago. It worked out well to have the get together there. I had not seen the more distant brothers since our last fishing trip two years ago together. As for me, I feel okay but struggle with my eyes. I hope too have the cataract lenses removed this winter after Christmas. I hope that does the job. I may need to learn to live with some loss of left side vision I did not bring the ice fishing things from the north back here this year. But I do plan to kayak fish this spring and make up for it. I will try to scale back the gardens to do so. Did I tell you I love to eat fish. I do hope you had a satisfying Thanksgiving Day and are looking. forward to Christmas Day. I wish Blessings on you and your Family |
