Happily retired in Illinois. Faves are family, books, puzzles, coffee, and laughter. I'm a safe space, love thy neighbor kind of Christian.

I start every day drinking coffee and watching the birds at the birdfeeders. I highly recommend this.

"It was never going to be me".... Hagan Scotten in his scathing resignation letter. That should be the battle cry of every person who is in the Resistance.

The main source of America's anxiety signed an executive order to look into the usage of anti-anxiety, depression, and weight loss drugs. Stop the world; I want to get off.

I'll be honest, my 60-something ears couldn't understand all of his words, but I got the message Kendrick was sending. Music, all the creative arts, are so powerful.

Saw the ad for the new Mission Impossible movie. Tom Cruise either has a portrait of an old man in his attic or he's an alien. The man doesn't age.

I just finished reading #TheNightBirds by Christopher Golden and it's well worth adding to your wish list for upcoming books. Page turning supernatural horror that drew me into story from the first page. #NetGalley #Booksky #Horror

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

If you're in need of a gift idea for your special Valentine, consider a luxury item they will certainly appreciate. A dozen eggs!

This.

My heart is broken for our country.

The only immigrant trying to destroy the country.

"It's only in the darkness that we can see the stars" - Kamala Harris. It's time to shine, America!

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked. The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.” This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

I'm reading Black River Orchard by the wonderful @chuckwendig.bsky.social and it has definite parallels to current events. This passage stopped me in my tracks.

But some people didn't like her laugh ... 😠

We are living under the reign of the Mad King.

I don't know how to process everything going on right now. It's scary.

47 is going to discover that Americans are very good at being spiteful and petty. His cruelty is backfiring.

I lost a dear friend to a brain tumor. She was diagnosed 2 years ago but never lost her smile and her zest for living. She got engaged at Christmas and was hopeful for a spring wedding but her condition deteriorated rapidly over the last week. Rest in peace, dear friend. I'll miss you.

One week, and we're already in a Constitutional crisis. Did #47 really think he could shut down federal funding on vital services and everyone would just shrug and ignore it?

Some people have lost their humanity and are cheering for cruelty. 💔

I remember when mercy and compassion were Christian traits. According to Speaker Mike Johnson, they are now radical ideology. We must have different Bibles.
