I found the concept on Angela Hunt's blog (see my Blogroll on the right), and had to look the word up. It's a bit complicated, but it seems to be a memory-jogger, or a way of transmitting cultural information. Someone "tagged" Angela to tell what she was doing at this time 10, 20, and 30 years ago. My father died in January 1997, so I was at the end of my first year of having no parents. Learning to find my balance without a "childhood home" of any kind. Enjoying having purchased my first RV. 1987—I'm not sure ... 1977—divorced just a year, trying to figure out who I was ... 1967—in the first year of marriage, still in college, a fairly new Christian ... 1957—ten years old, an Intermediate Girl Scout, reading every book I could get my hands on! 1947—eight months old, beginning to stand and walk ... How about you? What were you doing at the ten-year markers in your past?
