In Celebration of MHS Class of 1958

A Tribute and Celebration

We were the class of 1958, members of the Greatest Generation as well as children of the Greatest Generation. Born in 1940, we are also called members of the Traditional Generation.

Our childhood, post World War II, "was the best of times . . . it was the age of wisdom . . . it was the epoch of belief . . .it was the season of Light . . . it was the spring of hope . . . we had everything before us . . .we were all going direct to Heaven . . . ." (A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens.) At least, that's the way I felt about it. We were truly blessed.

Writing from Meridian

I came to Meridian yesterday for grandchild's birthday party. Peyton is one year old. He is so kissable and such a peaceful little one, although he has his "I'm mad" moments, of course. I babysat last night while James and Regan went to a benefit for Church of the Mediator. It was held next door at the Hulett home. They talked with Marty and Linda who were also attending. Meanwhile I was chasing Peyton around the house. He was crawling at top speed. I finally gave him a bath and put him to bed. Then I slept until noon today. Am I tired! As they say, my get up and go has got up and gone.

Right now we are in the midst of big storm with flash flood warnings. A huge limb fell from tree in James' yard.

I'm staying at my mother's home which is still for sale. It has basic supplies and furniture for staying there. I don't think it will ever sell. I heard that there are 350 homes for sale where I live in Diamondhead. Housing market not so good anywhere.

WOULD SOMEBODY PLEASE BUY MY MAMA'S HOUSE!!! Simple Woman House for Sale Blues (click link).

Enjoyed your post. I can just see you scampering after that fast baby! I really miss living in the neighborhood. We enjoyed the Egger house across the street from your son; a retiring couple from CA bought it. The tree you mentioned is probably the oldest in Meridian - a live oak on the corner of P. S. Drive and 24th St.
Good luck selling your mama's house; your time will come.
