You're right - we're just one year away from the centenary of the beginning of WWI, which ended an era...But I'm glad you enjoy our cold climate! At least it keeps me relatively safe from broom attacks at this time of year...

My Dad, born in 1957, told me that 2000 seemed like an eternity away...Oh yes, independence is so precious...I do not remember the first time that I heard, read or saw of inequality in action.

Thanks for sharing you life and lives with us, Kabu and Wiley.
We are an extended family, and we need our elders to show us how it's done. Even when we are elders, ourselves!

I never get tired of reading about your life in Camelot.
I love my own life, but I'm glad everyone's is a bit different so I can read about them. LOL

BYears that were the years science fiction has been set in came and went such as 1964, 1984, and 2001. Tragically the aliens came to us in the latter love. BC-A, Bill’s R®st

Yes, it's always good to take the time to be aware of and be grateful for the things you have that may seem simple in nature, but are commodities to many others. And I believe that this is the first time I've ever read anything that mentioned parades for veterans of the Boer War ( most people have probably never heard of it! )

I love your reminiscences - have been researching WW II and your
post today reminds me so much of how it was for all of us. We've got an inch or so of snow... I've got to get out today and get a bird feeder up. The city told us no excess bird feeders because the fallen food attracts skunks - but they've got to eat, too. So there'll be peanuts and bird seed out there today sometime.

kabu when I was a boy I did wonder if ever I would make it to 2000 not many men survived past 70 as you know it seemed a very long life to endure. Like an old horse one keeps jumping over the next fence. Neigh not another one.

Happy New Year dear friend...I have truly missed reading your thoughtful and many times uplifting blogs.You guys have been in my thoughts often, when I found myself at the end of my rope and felt like letting go, I remembered your journeys, the miracle that is your love and felt there was something in this world perhaps worth hanging on for. Thank you for that and for being you, relatable and loving :-) Its as if your experiences, though so different from mine in a way, in others totally resemble what I have lived through... like that feeling of the year 2000 being so far away or not being able to imagine back then what a world without my parents could be like. Yes I have missed you tons. All the best now and always xoxoxo

Ain't it the truth love? We have all we need in and for one another and occasionally for others in need.It's been a wonderful holiday season, and after a blessed Christmas we'll have as happy a 2013 as we did all the other years we have loved and lived and were so happy.
