Remembering things from the years gone by recreates some a very special time for all us Baby Boomers. If you don’t remember stick with me as we stroll down Memory Lane. Then, let us all know what you think about the 1950s/1960s and how us Boomers grew up. So many wonderful things existed back then. Life was much simpler or was it. There are pros and cons to every era. 
Things were simpler because we were just kids and our parents took care of everything as we ran around freely just being kids. We played on the streets till the street lights came on. We drank from the hose when we played outside. We could walk to the library, movies, or school alone with no worries. Rode our bicycles everywhere. No name brand anything to keep up with. Played outside barefoot running wildly catching lightening bugs. Simply eating cherries in the backyard on lawn chairs as a family chatting away. We were taught no matter what our job may be, president of a large company or janitor mopping floors, we were to do the very best job possible. It was harder because we were instilled with “Duck and Cover” courtesy of Bert the Turtle. There was an imminent fear of destruction during the Cuban Missile Crisis. School reminded us with “Duck and Cover” drills. Television reminded us with Bert the Turtle Civil Defense announcements. The memories are evocative while looking at these photos of a time not so long ago. It all brings back the smells, sounds, tastes and feelings of a life that once was. Oh how the world has changed but I’ll leave that up to the next generation of kids to tell you all about it.
Once a week, I go over to see my granddaughters, ages 4 and 9, to do arts and crafts. A fun time to spend with the granddaughters who just love the artistic side of life. The best day of the week. We needed some fun and refreshing projects to do so I began scouting around the Internet for ideas. Since Easter is around the corner, thought it would fun to make some new decorations for this year. I plugged popsicle sticks and clothes pins into Google and came up with quite a few wonderful projects I think they will like. 
Today, I have been working on setting up my bookmarks for everyone to enjoy. Just wanted to share the great things I am finding throughout my travels on the web. I especially like the free sites with free patterns or lessons. I am all about learning how to do something and doing it myself. I will be adding new links on and off in the future. I will post them in a contrasting color making them stand out as new. I hope you enjoy.
Thought I would let you know of the many projects that occupy me during any given day of the week. Never just work on one project at a time. Rather I have a routine of rolling from one project into the next, and the next and the next throughout the day. There are my crochet projects, painting projects, word puzzles, you name it. While I am sitting down crafting, I enjoy a good documentary on Netflix or YouTube video from one of my many subscribed channels. Always looking for a new something to learn about or to do. I keep my mind active, questioning, wondering, searching. At the age of 65, my whole life is being revamped. New job, new home, new life! It’s all in the working. Brain power in action leads to a healthy brain and life.
