1. from what I can remember from infancy to collage
2. working years
3. retirement years to present
4. my prospectus on present day issues and my thoughts
I wanted all of this BUT in the humorous light of things rather than the harshness. After all. life is to be enjoyed.
So far it has worked out that way. I can honestly say that the things I may have thought were bad when they were happening, actually turned out to be funnier when I really thought about them. I try to relive some of them every time I need to fill an hour of time. I remember sitting my grandsons down when they were at the age of being interested in what grandpa had to say .........and telling them some of "the stuff". They would immediately turn to grandma and ask " Is that true grandma" almost as if they thought she was there for everyone of those days. I have led life filled with all kinds of friends and have broken bread with people that some would only be able to dream about. Sure, there are many things I wish I had done better or differently but I have very little regret for the way things have worked out. Now, I can look back and honestly say "been there, done that and moved on".
When I say. "grandpa walked a mile to school in 10' of snow." grandpa did that.......oh sure some might say...............and take that as SOME LITTLE imagination Right after the snow plow had been down the road and pushed the snow to the side of the road where it then measured 10' it was all true. The snow was 10' and the distance 1 mile. The comparison is very simple, now a days, the bus will not run in more than 10" of snow and school is now closed for a snow day. Proving the youth are wimps.
Now, it's time to write that book...................not that I plan on selling a lot of copies..............I just want to have a Christmas gift to give with a bottle of my homemade Vito's Vino. What I've tried to do is go back over all my blog postings and put them in some kind of chronological order. That is a job in itself. Seems that the almost 40 years I spent with SAS certainly cries out what my life was totally about. Second comes my "growing up" years (school) followed way in the rear is my retirement years. They just didn't seem to catch on................so that's the reason I just dabbled into anything I could get my hands into. I just find that it gives me just the right amount of time and ATTITUDE to make my life still something to crow about. I find myself totally involved in fact checking everything politicians are doing...............this administration has certainly increased my mind power to searching out information. That leads me to the final chapter of my book. Now I have to find a name for that chapter.......................oh so much is going through this mind of mine right now. It's like creating something of beauty and putting it down in pencil then turning into pen and finally into the written word . I have tried to self-draw my photo and it will soon be finished..
Perhaps I will wrap up this part of my life and begin anew......................then again maybe I should just continue along the same road.
Before I go for this one. Enjoy the video. Perhaps I should consider show business.
come back again.
