2010, ANOTHER DECADE makes EIGHT !!
As I sat with 2 of my grandsons (ages 10&8), sipping sparkling white grape juice, the announcers said 2010 was the start of a new decade. I thought to myself,"if I just make the next 10 minutes I''ll have lived during 8 of them". I wondered how much change they would see as they enter their 2nd decade. I know as I think back how much change I've experienced since the early 1940's. I don't mean just in technology, but in the stages of our lives.
So I'm thinking, one reason for my starting this blog was to relate some of my life, whether the grandkids want to hear it or not. I know some do or will, for example my 8 yr old grand-daughter I'm told spent an hour or so reading my blog a few weeks ago. And just today, my 8 yr old grandson broke in, as I was relating a family joke on our origins, and told with great glee how he told a friend the story.
And so all will not be lost and my my efforts not in vain.
Speaking of vain, when I blog about these different decades, its about our families history really and not of myself. I'll have to be careful as to protect the living so perhaps much will be just brief high lites.
Just think, I started out in the 40's with just a radio and now I'm starting out 2010 with an iPod Touch.
