A Journal With Everything

Prince, 1986

Prompt: Lyn asked us if we remember Prince's song Kiss and what we were doing in February 1986. She asked if we liked Prince's music.

I loved Prince and his song Kiss. I have a Prince Group here and my own Merit Badge I commissioned. What I was doing in February 1986? Working at the nursing home. Selling Avon. My son was in third grade. In that same year, I remember the tragedy of The Challenger blowing up. I was unhappy at my job but everything else in my life was good.

I watched the movie Purple Rain at my father-in-law's house. We got cable later. I loved the music and teen movies back then. I was younger and I wish I was still that young. Prince was great and it is sad he died. I do have good memories of the 80s.
