    Well, senior citizens circle back to their childhoods when socializing is their whole lives.

    For some reason they have decided to jump over the 2 week conclusion of the story with Elizabeth, Candace and Dawn and go to the story originally published back in mid-September 1992. Here we have the first mention of the band “The Bentwood Rockers” which will become a fixture in the comic strip. Welcome, “The Bentwood Rockers.”

    My father sang & played harmonica with a senior men’s group for the last few years of his life. They toured the city, visiting schools & senior centers. It was a surprise to me because I can’t remember him ever really singing when I was a child.

    Well, it appears that there is such a thing as “happily ever after”. For a little while, anyway. That’s hopeful you know.

    Speaking of bent wood rocking chairs, here’s a story from our life:

    My mother’s husband was one of those men who drove around the evening before garbage day, and he did pick up a few of those rockers over the years, after the craze died down, and shined them up again and sold them back to people who drove by their house. He left a locked mail box for “donations” and was always pleasantly surprised that people paid. Once there even was a fifty dollar bill(!!!)

    BTW, he picked up so many aluminum doors over a period of time, that he built two sun porches: one at the back door, and another one at the back of the garage. They were neat structures, and didn’t at all look thrown together. Our parents had neighbors who were just as handy and those doors were a community project for about five of them.

    I have friends who are older. When they moved into an assisted living facility, they said if they’d known it would be so much fun they would have done it years earlier.

    My grandparents spent their days bowling and roller skating with a group of fellow retirees.
