Once a week I'll be popping up in your Newsfeed box in an attempt to make you laugh, make you think, bring back memories, and if we are all very lucky, learn something new about ourselves and the world we have grown up in, and into. Socially, the years since 1945 have been a roller coaster journey, and most of us have seen more changes in the last 63 years than past ages in history. Our journey here together in this blog, and as members of Boomeryearbook, should be fun don't you think? We all have enough stress and strain in our lives - having kids does that to you for some odd reason. Being a kid does it too, and I think we can all relate to the days of our youth as baby boomers, and in spite of our education and hard earned middle aged wisdom, we still can't get our kids to relate. Take heart - they will, though they'll probably be middle aged themselves before they really 'get' it! Here's a thought - make them read this blog! LOL

I'm 56. That means I was born in 1952 when the world was still recovering from WWII and immigrants were still flowing out of Europe and Britain in search of a better life in the land of milk and honey. Frankly, until Carnation Instant Milk made the Canada Food Guide, I don't remember a lot of milk and honey when I was a small kiddie. I remember being called 'Shanty Irish', confined to the mean streets of the inner city among a babel of foreign languages and customs. Being Irish Catholic among the Italians was one thing. Being Irish Catholic among the Orange Irish ( Northern Protestant) was quite another. The death of my mother and the breaking up of my family changed all that, and by virtue of adoption I entered the more upscale world of a new social group called the middle class. And so began my indoctrination into the mind set of "keeping up with the Jones". But that is the subject of future blogs, so you'll just have to remain a member, read your newsfeeds and prepare to have some fun! Next week: Mrs. Jones meets Mrs. Smith and the property line got fenced..............................

Fun's over, now for the good stuff, lol Also in this blog will be included drawing your attention to particular links on site that you HAVE to check out or you'll be missing a treat. This week I want to draw your attention to "What's Cookin" with Peggy. Every week she posts a new recipe guaranteed to get your kitchen out of the doldrums and set your taste buds a dancing. This weeks special is "Delicious Crumb Cake (Quick and Easy) and it can be accessed from the Navigation Bar, Forum Icon, in the drop down menu. I'll be serving coffee at 4:00pm, two days from now. Who's bringing the Crumb Cake?
