Close your eyes…transport yourself back to our youth….and then focus on this evocative image. Oh, that iconic VW van! It sure brings back memories! I’m not sure it was the kinder, gentler time of my fantasy but it certainly was a unique era.
But on to reality. Some Boomer bloggers have stuff to share today. Helpful, funny, thoughtful.
A different kind of Twister game
People in power are renown for not telling the truth, bending and twisting the truth, and even inventing ‘the truth’. But this phenomenon, so prevalent in our time, is not new, as Meryl Baer of Six Decades and Counting reminds us in her post Lies Our Leaders Tell Us. Looking back hundreds of years to another time and place when the powers of the era decided what was true and what was not, Baer recounts the story of one individual who advocated different ideas.
On a happier note she greets the new season with pictures reminding us change can be a wonderful thing in Greeting Fall.
Parents, take care….
And in helpful consumer news, there’s this: As summer ends, Rita R. Robison, consumer journalist, blogging at The Survive and Thrive Boomer Guide, writes that at least 163 children drowned in swimming pools and spas in the United States during the summer of 2017. See Robison’s article for steps that parents, caregivers, and pool owners should take to ensure that children and adults stay safer in and around pools.
