These are the Good Old Days

I got an email from a friend of mine who said they enjoy keeping up with us via our blog. She also said she wished she had time to do a similar blog, but she felt their lives were too boring.

I think in the daily living of our lives, everyone thinks theirs is a little boring, us included. We each plod along, go to work, fix dinner, watch TV, go to bed. Get up and start over.

It's in the little happenings each day that reminiscences later referred to as "the good old days" are born.

Have you ever noticed that when you think back on your own personal "good old days", those events you're recalling, at the time of their occurrence, really didn't seem all that special.

Some of my personal "good old days" include floating down a ditch behind our house when I was 8 aboard a raft made of someone's discarded styrofoam slab. At the time, I probably got scolded for getting wet and playing with litter. But that's not part of the memory.

We're all interesting in our own ways. It probably won't seem so to our own perspective, but in hindsight, those shining embers of "the good old days" are all we recall and hopefully cherish.

Yesterday was Thanksgiving. We all played a role in making the meal. Princess Alicia did a great job stuffing the turkey. All the food turned out great, especially the turkey.

We hope all of you had equally delicious holiday celebrations.
