Granny's gone and done it again

Hi guys. I'm on my way to Cape to see my ortho. Wouldn't you know it, today my knee hardly hurts at all! It's like taking your car to the mechanic for a loud grinding noise and suddenly it's as silent as a mouse in church! Don't worry, DH is driving.

Yes. Happens often.

Hello

Yes. Happens often.

No worries. Had to stop for a rest break. It hurts just fine!

Almost there, BBL.

This is most of us here.



They call us, “The Older Generation." We have lived across many different decades. TWO different centuries. TWO separate millennia.

We were born in the 40s-50s-60s. We grew up in the 50s-60s-70s. We studied in the 60s-70s-80s. We dated in the 70s-80s-90s. We got married and discovered the world in the 70s-80s-90s. We ventured into the 80s-90s. We settled into the 2000s. We became wiser over the next decade. And we are firmly moving beyond 2020.

We have gone from telephone with a long distance operator to video calls anywhere in the world.

We've gone from slides to YouTube, vinyl records to online music, handwritten letters to email and WhatsApp. From live game radio, to black and white television, to color television and then to 3D HD television. I went to the video store and now I watch Netflix.

We met the first computers, punched cards, floppy disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones. We wore shorts all our childhood and then trousers, oxfords, rockets, full shells and blue jeans. We dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, polio, tuberculosis, swine flu and now COVID-19. We used to ride roller skates, tricycles, bicycles, mopeds, gasoline or diesel cars and now we drive hybrids or electric cars.

Yes, we've been through a lot, but what a life we've had! They could describe us as "exemplars", people born in that world of the fifties, who had an analog childhood and digital adulthood. We're like "I've seen it all"! Our generation has literally lived and witnessed more than anyone else in all dimensions of life. It is our generation that has literally adapted to "CHANGE." A big round of applause to all the members of a very special generation, we are UNIQUE!

I still have a rotary phone and a box tv I use daily.

Today is a Friends Day
Good friends are hard to find, harder to lose and impossible to ever forget. They are family without a birth certificate. Having a Good Friend in your life is one of life's greatest treasures. Happy Friends Day!
