What a swift transition from footloose and fancy free to the beginning of our lives today. Evenings went from "where's the party" to "we need diapers". Rentals became mortgages. Our "wheels" were strollers and everyone wore a seat belt.
Jobs were no longer a dime a dozen, we were approaching 30 so, it was time to settle down. We did the best we could with that one but, the good times continued to roll. The eighties were a personal favorite of mine as there was so much to look forward to, mistakes could be corrected because we still had plenty of time. Plus, Ronald Reagan was President for almost the entire decade.
Through thick and thin, and miles between, we shared these years as we did the last ones.
