Last year I travelled back to South Carolina to spend a weekend playing with my great grandchildren.

The first picture are the oldest and youngest members of the family.  I was 85 and Jon was almost a year.  My two great granddaughters, Elisa and Laila, are 4 and 5 respectively.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

May you treasure them always! 🍻

I always will.  But it bothers me about what kind of world and country and planet we will leave them.

Very heart-warming photos in these troubled times.  Just imagine: Your grand kids may actually be around to usher in the 21st Century! 

Why is 2000 called 21st Century?
Any year beginning “20xx” is part of the 21stCentury because they form the 21st set of hundred years in recorded time. When we reach 2100, time will have been recorded for 21 centuries. Consider the start of recorded time – the first century were the first hundred years of time, years through 0 to 99.Jan 5, 2016

It seems to confuse a lot of people Sue.

During the golden age of railroads New York Central's premier streamliner was called the 20th Century Limited because it was running in the 1940s - 1950s.  That makes the 2000s the 21st Century.  Overspeed3 meant the 22nd Century.
