We grew up in the 50-60-70's. We studied in the 60-70-80's We were dating in the 70-80-90's. We got married and discovered the world in the 70-80-90's. We venture into the 80-90’s. We stabilize in the 2000’s. We got wiser in the 2010’s. And we are going firmly through and beyond 2020’s. Turns out we've lived through EIGHT different decades... TWO different centuries…TWO different millennia… We have gone from the telephone with an operator for long–distance calls to video calls to anywhere in the world. We have gone from slides to YouTube, from vinyl records to online music, from handwritten letters to email and Whats App. From live matches on the radio, to black and white TV, color TV and then to 3D HD TV. We went to the Video store and now we watch Netflix. We got to know the first computers, punch cards, floppy disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones. We wore shorts throughout our childhood and then long trousers, Oxfords, flares, shell suits & blue jeans. We dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, polio, tuberculosis, swine flu and now COVID-19. We rode skates, tricycles, bicycles, mopeds, petrol or diesel cars and now we drive hybrids or electric. Yes, we've been through a lot but what a great life we've had! They could describe us as "exennials," people who were born in that world of the fifties, who had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood. We've kind of "Seen-It-All!” Our generation has literally lived through and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life. It is our generation that has literally adapted to "CHANGE." A big round of applause to all the members of a very special generation, which are UNIQUE! ---PAGE BREAK--- Word Scramble Words from the 50’s NETIVOLISE CKRODNALOLR TELRETTEKJAC ICVILRGIHST PLDOOERIKST IVREDNITEREHAT Words from the 60’s AHGSPERCTA LERFWOERPWO OTOWMN CLBKAILGTH ODMOSRIGN 70’s Musicians/Bands BBOANYDL HETOWH TEVIESONDWRE CAHOIGC AAIDNSORS ELINIDOANDM 50’s: Television, Rock and Roll, Letter Jacket, Civil Rights, Poodle Skirt, Drive-in Theater 60’s: Granny Glasses, Shag Carpet, Flower Power, Motown, Black Light, Mood Rings 70’s: Bob Dylan, The Who, Stevie Wonder, Chicago, Diana Ross, Neil Diamond 60’s TV Trivia 1.

George Burns Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter. Mark Twain Age is irrelevant. Ask me how many trips I’ve taken, sunsets I’ve seen, laughs I’ve shared, concerts I’ve been to, bedtime stories I’ve read and people I’ve loved. That’s how old I am. ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- Split Personality, Misunderstood, Somewhere over the Rainbow, History repeats itself, One in a million, I’ll be there in a minute, High Chair, Space Invaders, Slow Down, Stand in the Corner, Double Vision, Walking on Thin Ice, Eye of the Storm, X Marks the Spot, Once upon a Time, Broken Promise, Shrinking Violets, Pineapple Upside-down Cake, Back Door, Get a Word in Edgewise, Cross County, Apple Pie, Six Feet Under Ground, Half Baked, Unfinished Business Looking Ahead Belgrade Senior Center Annual Camping Trip Monday, July 29 - Thursday, August 1, 2024 $90.00 per person or $30.00 for the day.
