Happy Easter from Down Under to Creative Wisconsin.

Dear Babyboomers and others
Easter, renewal of spirit and hope.  One of the differences between Australia  and USA, is that you generally  have a stronger Christian ethic than us.  Despite that fact, you don't celebrate Easter with as many Easter holidays as we do.  Australia has been called the 'land of the long weekend',  economic debate still rages,  but I think, it makes us fortunate for many reasons, family being one.   But, you ask,  why do I go there? 
Because R and I met up again (through Facebook) after 30 years to find that we were still the same people with the similar interests and aspirations we formerly shared.  We find that to be very gratifying and meaningful so we have been blogging ever since.  Being creatives, we find it interesting to compare our lives, as Babyboomers, and we would like to involve you in our journey. 
What evolved was a renewal of our friendship, and a fascination re where those years have taken us, and how our attitudes and aspirations have lined up, despite living in different countries and obviously having differing life experiences. 
COG - became our word - 'Crazy ole Gals', derived from Blog, but the special aspect of COGGING  came from Co-blogging, where I am a COG in R's wheel and she in mine.

We have come to the realisation that women of all ages share this aspect of supporting each other, and it is this aspect we are now exploring - how we bridge the gap, share 'Secret Women's Business' (SWB) with our beautiful daughters.  Here is a magnificent opportunity for women to blend our ideas and concepts - and teach each other, wisdoms which span the generations.
Beautiful daughters - "We give you the gift of our experience", and perhaps pass on the secrets re still fitting into your jeans.
With love, and Happy Easter. 
 Welcome to my journey as I photograph something I create everyday for a year... RRT
