“In the 70th year – starts 2nd Childhood!”

Jun 11th “In the 70th year – starts 2nd Childhood!”

Did you ever hear that … “You start into your 2nd Childhood?” – – “In your seventies – – “KIRK DOUGLAS” stated that – – you begin… your second childhood – and that means – – that – – NOW – you can do all those things – that you were deprived of getting to do – – and whatever silly stuff you are doing – – “IT” is NOW – – all okay to do!”

So… when I heard that – – that was exactly something that I thought I will remember – – so that – – when I get to the age of “70” – – there will time and no complaints from anyone – – when I want to do what there was no TIME – – for me to do back then!

This is a PHOTO of me – – in my “Rosati-Kain”HIGH SCHOOL uniform – – and just to be funny – – put a “DUNCE CAP” on… and then – – to clear my hands – just threw my school cap up into the air – – and caught it on top of my “DUNCE CAP” – – just to see what – – “looking silly – really looks like?”

When I was in HIGH SCHOOL

there was a BUS strike – – and so in order for me to get to school – – I did have to ride my bike to 4300 Lindell BLVD. SAINT LOUIS – – and the miles for me – – to peddle were about three and a half. This would not have been too bad – – – but as I was riding – – had to from time to time – – make sure that my school uniform skirt was not flying too high – – so as to distract – passers-by – – – and or cause an accident – and it sure was good that we did have good weather – – because – – how else would I travel – – if there would have been RAIN???

So… as you see me in this PHOTO – – that is the way I traveled – – and with my school books and prob bally a purse somewhere – – – this is the way – – just as friendly as possible – since going through the SAINT LOUIS area – did have to cross over “STREET CAR” tracks and – – thinking back – “IT sure was a good thing that – – I was young – – and had lots of energy!”

NOW…that I am in my seventies – – I am thinking that it would be beneficial for me to get an adult “Three-Wheeler” – – and have a large attached basket – – in the rear – – for “STUFF!”

That is me with the “SCOOTER” – and of course my younger brother “TOMMY” – – and in looking at these old PHOTOS – – I can see that I have done a good job of riding the “two-wheeler” – – – and sure did use lots of leg energy – – pushing the “Scooter” around – – so – – NOW – – are you also thinking … the same thing that I am thinking???

As a person – NOW in my seventies – – – and… if… I am also in my “second childhood” – – need to keep in tune with the “TOY STYLES” of children – but – – – which would be easy for an old “bag of BONES” – – to feel comfortable riding – – and then… when taking a rest… can sit back… on – – – – and in a comfortable position – – that would be in the “sitting position” – for the legs and the whole “bag of BONES” – – some of which in my case – – have been replaced!

“What a “GOOD TIME” – – we “SENIORS” have to look forward to – – It’s that “second childhood” – – having that positive attitude in to old age – – letting us have all the FUN – – that we can!”
