the 70's
So as you can tell from the previous blog my thoughts have been running backwards, is it cause my birthday is near? Most likely, I think most people think of what has happened and what is to come when they are near their birth day. So my thoughts turned to the 70's, so much happened during that decade, I graduated from high school, married for the first time, started a career, even if at the time I did not know that it would be one, saw my family move thousands of miles away from me but did not realize the importance of family at that time, lived in the French Quarter in New Orleans and had some really interesting experiences, strippers on Bourbon Street with your husband playing drums while she dances on an electrical spool in front of him, turning 18 and having my first legal drink at the Warehouse at a Bob Dylan concert, pretty cool getting carded on your B'day, having my first apartment, moving 6 times in 5 years, why?, buying my first house, learning how to drive and buying my first car, it was a van with curtains and a sofa, and collecting money for gas, cause it had gone to $1.00 a gallon during the first gas crisis, voting for President for the first time, learning how to crochet from my mother, learning how to make a roux, loving white platform shoes in my little pink double knit polyester mini skirt suit, it was so professional, never going on a vacation that did not include a visit to family, I guess I did realize how important family was, always planning on partying on the weekends with friends, hating that I had to work on Saturdays cause the career turned out to be retail, loving my life and the no stress that we all seem to have today. So enjoy a couple of Peter Maxx paintings and remember the follies of your youth.

I like your background color, very Martha. Will you get rid of the word verification again?
