Feeling mighty old
Today our younger son is celebrating his thirty-first birthday. He went on vacation today with his family, so we held the "birthday lunch" yesterday. He ordered meatballs like Grandmother used to make, green beans like Granny made, and sour cream pound cake with strawberries like I used to make when the boys were younger. To get in the mood to prepare this feast I tuned into 60's hits on the computer; you know the ones before the British Invasion.
The music, the smells, the old hand written recipes and the memories of his childhood all took me back in time. I was peeling tomatoes, putting homemade pickles in the bowl and slicing strawberries while singing to Beach music. But, alas the spell was broken when the air conditioner came on and I remembered it is being powered by the solar panels on the roof.
Time travel facts:
1) it is possible (but only in small increments)
2) Jake doesn't care about time travel as long as the AC is working
3) the trip is worth taking
