Years ago the lost generation meant something other
than offspring deciding NOT to have children. I had no grandmas, they both
passed away before I was born and I am still not one. And I really had hoped to
become one.
In those long ago days it meant something more
prolific, but also non-controllable at the time for people who felt as they
had.
Somehow if I had been a truly great writer as the ones
mentioned below I more than likely would have joined their group…in my heart I
was there incarnate as I sometimes believe I am.
Being of a mindset to be allowed to think and do and
write what you truly believe in should be within all people’s abilities that is
unless they are putting themselves or others in harms way I truly believe it to
be one of the ultimate freedoms.
“The ''lost generation''
of the1920s was a group of writers born from 1883 to *1900. They moved to Paris (Paris
was the advant *garde for all areas of creativity. Escape from the austere
materialism of *American cities expecting to find literary freedom.) living
there from 1920 to 1930, they had a profound impact in society and arts. The
term ''the lost generation'' was obtained by
Gertrude Stein referring to the young workers poor auto
mechanic repair skills. Gertrude Stein would take this phrase to define
the people who rejected *American post world war 1 values. The two presidents
from this organization were Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower. The three
best known writers among this period were; Ernest Hemingway, F.Scott Fitzgerald, and John dos *Passos. This generation
include distinguished artists such as; Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, Waldo Peirce,
Alan Seeger, Sylvia Beach, and Erich Maria Remarque. ( karla.pd5 and http://www.montgomerycollege.edu/Departments/hpolscrv/jbolhofer.html

Moving on…
The chill is coming into our beautiful south west Florida… again!
Tonight’s and tomorrow morning’s temps will be in the
forties, and the highs during the day will only be going up into the sixties!
And yes that is COLD for south west Florida even in November!
It is very unusual and I personally cannot remember it
being that cold this often before December in the whole twenty-eight years that
we have resided in this state!
Another move on…
I was capable to do all my circuit at the gym/rehab
today and increased weights as well as reps on my three pieces of my use of
equipments, leg lifts, thighs inner and outer and the total gym!
After we ate lunch at Bob Evans and I had their 370
calorie salad of roasted chicken spinach apples cranberries and pecans with
raspberry vinaigrette with ice water and lemon for my beverage!
Hubby had meatloaf with green beans and mashed
potatoes and gravy and ice water too!
After that we went over to Publix, practically across
the street and bought our turkey and healthier fixings for tomorrow. A four
pound turkey breast, and low sodium bread to make our own stuffing with sodium
free chicken bouillon, onions and garlic cloves etc. Our sides are sweet
potatoes sliced or smashed with a little bit of brown sugar and cinnamon topped
with miniature marshmallows and a frozen French string bean casserole also made
with my own mushroom soup made from my frozen mushrooms, onions, garlic cloves,
sodium free chicken bouillon and a wee bit of flour with extra virgin olive oil
and a wee bit of butter too to thicken it and darn it if we are using those bad
for you crispy onions gingerly on top of it, okay? Pumpkin pie with fat free
real whip cream, who would have thought it could be done?
Interesting fact of the night: Did you know that there is a Port
Charlotte in Scotland UK? Well there is.
I had no idea until I checked; here is one of the many
links:
When I was in college I had the pleasure of visiting Scotland, specifically St.
Andrews and always thought that someday I would get to go back, it
was truly enchanting, back in 1969.
I was very fortunate to had visited Ireland, England Holland, France, Spain and Portugal as well all due to my
college program back then.
On that note of learning something new daily, allow me
to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask all of
you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you
know who and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
