A political map of the world circa 1987. The Soviet Union takes up a sizable portion. A lot has happened in the last 39 years. The Berlin Wall came down. The Soviet Union collapsed. The Twin Towers fell. Technology has changed: landlines and phone booths are practically extinct, and random questions can be answered in seconds by asking Google, Siri, or Alexa. No longer do drivers keep the Thomas Guide in their cars; navigation systems will give turn-by-turn directions, and recalculate when the driver doesn't follow the directions. Some cars don't even need drivers. While many shoppers do their shopping in-person, some simply log into Amazon and have their item show up on their doorstep--sometimes within hours. I've seen pieces of the Berlin Wall. I've traveled to places that used to be behind the Iron Curtain. I've been to Ground Zero. I no longer have a house phone, and have looked up the answers to countless questions using my cell phone. I do not miss the stress...
Living life with a thankful heart

ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing picture Kristi! I love how the clouds are peeking over the hillside! Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteThankful for Marlene who suggested we all get to know each other better - what a wonderful idea. I believe that is what they called the "Wolf Moon" in January from way back when. You definitely had a much better than us gorgeous view. Judy C in NC

ReplyDeleteI'm a somewhat tardy visitor from Stitchin by the Lake. Thanks for sharing the beautiful picture.
ReplyDeleteI was inspired to take a picture out my back door & blog about it. I am afraid that my Sundays are like your Sundays, except my naps are probably longer!!
