The first decade that I remember was the 60's. I remember vividly the horror of the loss of President Kennedy. I remember where I was in the livingroom at 113 when that happened. I remember the silence and the change in my parents when these civil rights events hit them so hard.
I remember the 1970's and the gaslines and sometimes singing with dad as we sat on the lines to get gas.
I remember the 80's and Lady Dianna. All of us who married in that decade were impressed by the beauty and the glory of that royal wedding and the royal couple's aid for us to recoup some of the beauty of having royalty to mimic.
I remember the 90's and the fun that we had at Grandma Ruth's 80th birthday party. Ju called me after and said that Elyse had stepped on her foot, which we argue about to this day, in fun.
The Turn of the millenium is a blurr of difficult memories starting with 9/11 and then it seems like you blink your eyes and here we are starting the second decade of the millenium. How do you make resolutions for such a time? Where do you start to change and grow here for the next 10 years?
2 of my children are grown and still helping at home. Elyse is working as a nanny. Emily is helping out at home. 2 are teens and 2 are still in grammar school. We have so much to be grateful for.
