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 227 4-01-23 Hello Grands and All Others It has been a bit since I wrote last. We have had a few different snow falls, One a Major event. our church was cancelled for the first time I can recall due to weather. It has been a long and colder March. We are know way behind with the garden outside yard work. It will be playing catch up all spring. But I did put the inside time to good use. I have the internet booth fully stocked so I will put it away for the time being. I will keep my store booth open and ship and maintain. But my concentration will be on the outside work. It will be a challenge with part of my vision gone. I will accept that challenge and the yard will come out better on the other end with God's help. I did see the eye retina specialist. He did not feel I had a retinal disease as my brother does. So hopefully we can go ahead with cataract replacement. He felt that would help what I do see. I am looking at kayak trailers so the wife and I can both go fishing. I can not get two kayaks in the back of our van. The problem is the kayaks come not assembled so that would be another challenge. So we shall see. I am tired and it is late. I will write a few lines again soon to keep you posted. We will see you Grands on Easter. It is always good to see you. I hope you all have a Blessed Evening Three Score and Now Twelve + Day 248 4-23-23 Hello Grands and Others I hope you all are having a nice spring. Our spring has been up and down from 80's to 40's, The highs during the day. But during the warm spell I did get some garden planted that is coming along well. We did have some snow yesterday. We hope to have weather later this week to plant more or we are going to get behind. It is cold and wet out there now. It takes me longer to do anything now, I am clumsy and stumble some due to my eye sight. I have had eye doctor visits and now have been scheduled for eye Cataract surgeries in July. I hope it is in the slower part of the garden season. We will go north this week. It will be taking things up and bring back items. It will be to cold to fish. I will care for the blueberries as needed. I always have a fear when going up there that there will be problems. It has been about five months since we have been up there. It is the longest we have left the property since purchased. I will have my fingers crossed there are no problems. We always have things to do up there but we will cut the trip short by a day so as to be here to plant next week. I hope to go up every other week we are near out of fish. someone needs to fill the freezer with fish Our first Flea Market of the season is two weeks from today. We are ready as can be at this time with a lot of marked inventory ready to sell. It looks now like it will be good weather. But this is Wisconsin and the weather can change on a dime. So we will see. We did purchase a red light so called gaming key board for this computer. It does seem to help me type easier as I can see the keys better. Personnel Typing was the only class I failed in high school. I hated typing, Never thought I would need it. I guess I was wrong, But don't tell the wife. There is internet auction going off soon and I have a bid in. I will get back after the auction. The auction is now over I managed the one item I was after to win. I did get outbid on all my other bids. But I was not anxious to spend tonight. Today we order two addition heat compress for my eyes. The eye doctor says they will help but I do not see it happening. I have been doing with the wifes assistance since November along with eye drops. We went and visited the Granddaughter and here college campus one week ago. It is hard to believe she has almost one year in. She is doing well and enjoying it too. my daughter and Son in Law picked us up and returned us. It was a nice day outside and Sonora Pearl was an excited tour guide. We had a nice lunch on campus. I was happy to get there and see her dorm room and her cafeteria. It is time to say good night. I hope you have a Blessed evening |
