The Recent Death Of Jimmy Carter....

 ...has had me rethinking the 1970s decade.

Upon taking office in 1977 Carter promptly pardoned the draft dodgers.

Even earlier the US people had soured on Watergate and wanted new people.

The Energy Crisis, The Meat Shortage....it was all there!

And as for me that era is the beginning of my general fatigue; at age eleven in 1977!

I still remember watching the news story re Amy Carter's first day of public school in Washington DC; both my parents promptly exclaimed: "Look at that poor girl! She is ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED."

Neither of them seemed to notice my own school attendance terror.

Or if they did they simply ignored it.

Now in less than two week another inaugural will occur; OH HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN!

 It is a full twenty-five years since the Y2K scare....time definitely flies!

And I turn sixty years old this year; that is mind bloggling!

"People my age have already started to die...."

I have to start living again.....

Jimmy Carter....

 ....just died yesterday at age one hundred.

I remember his presidency well.

I was a child.

After Watergate the American people wanted new people.

They country definitely got it!

Carter was a Libra, same as me.

Only non-living zodiac sign.

Years ago I thought a scale was a dull sign.

Now I realize that it is what it is!

Christmas Time Is Here!

 Bringing good cheer!

And the cold weather is here!

But we shall bring good cheer!

Here here!

I am here......

November 28 Thanksgiving Is Just Too Late!

 It just goes on too long; so many people already have their outdoor displays.

I really do prefer an earlier Thanksgiving; preferably the twenty-third or twenty-fourth of the month!

Into November

 Now I can say: "I will be sixty years old in October."

Tuesday Nov. 5 will be the sixth anniversary of my stroke.

That was a Tuesday, too; Election Day 2018!

"Most people are as happy as they make up their minds to be."

I should be one of those people....I would like to be one of those people....

Maybe I need to consider resuming anti-depressants!

Jimmy Carter's One Hundredth Birthday....

 ....Was yesterday!

Bring on the smile!
