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

How wonderful to live where you can go to the park in the winter! I look forward to grandbabies. Not that it is anywhere in the near future. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI can almost hear her giggles!
ReplyDeleteunless I'm confusing her with another photo, oldest granddaughter is getting big really fast! She has such beautiful hair! What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteSwinging is awesome - and that is one happy little girl! Love the pics.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures on the swing -- we are so lucky we can go out and enjoy the park and that it isn't under a blanket of snow.
