BBF #33 ~ The Flintsones: Retiring in Style

Today's prompt for Lisa Ricard Claro's Book Blurb Friday reminded me of our favorite prehistoric family, The Flintstones.  If you are around my age, you probably looked forward to watching them on t.v. in the 1960's like I did.

Thank you to our friend Lynn Obermoeller from over at "Present Letters",  Lynn, What’s for Dinner? and Lynn, What’s for Dessert?  for this cool picture:

"The Flintstones: Retiring in Style"

by Kathy Matthews

"After working hard for 35 years at the rock quarry, Fred Flintstone had finally reached the age of retirement.  Hanging up his hard hat and putting down his lunch pail on his last day; he never looked back.  Now was the time to do all those things that he and Wilma had been dreaming of. 

Pebbles was grown and married, Dino and the cat were long gone.  Fred and Wilma had given up their beloved home in the suburbs, and downsized to a retirement condo in the hills. 

They couldn't beat the view, there was no lawn to water or mow and it was brand-spanking new.  Plus, upon purchase, they had received an incentive lightweight sporty vehicle, the much coveted "Rockis".  It was so much easier to drive up that hill than their old dinosaur of a car. 

You will love this entertaining story of The Flintstones happy golden years." (150)
