Dear Reader!
Well, here it is.... and Lib and I have surpassed many odds to have arrived at this moment in time.We quietly celebrated 69 years of marriage, welcomed children, grandchildren and great grandchildren into our family, and have watched as human intellect has changed the world enormously since we entered on the stage to play our parts. Our greatest disappointment is that with all the technological advances we still waste sinful amounts of our resources on wars of conquest. The lines of states and countries change at whim it seems as rulers we have installed, or have seized power change them. Without war there would be resources that would allow all to live decently which I have not described.
At 88.5 there have been noticeable changes in our lives. We are measurably weaker which is to be expected. This observation for those approaching our age. Several faculties that still functioned well this time last year are perhaps 10-15% less efficient now. My mind still works well enough to use our electronic devices and spell checkers now even guess at next words! In normal conversation there are embarrassing halts as a name, concept, or thought suddenly goes blank. I have succumbed to the now popular notion that substituting honey for sweetening may reverse this malady.
I plan to blog here at least monthly.... it's a good place to save my thoughts. And dear reader you are more than welcome to follow along another pilgrim's journey on this adventure called " life". There were 5 siblings in our family. I am the oldest. Now I and my youngest brother, Mike, are left. He just turned 80 and is in much better condition than I was at that age.
So, goodbye 2025. You were kind to us.
WELCOME 2026 !!
