Pictures of our feast.

So thankful to cook Thanksgiving with my husband for the 12th year in a row. Each year has been massively different and he has changed the way I view the Thanksgiving feast with his creativity. I look forward to seeing what the next 20 plus brings.

I work at a library, and we offer so much more than books. Patrons have access to: 3D printers, a soundproof recording studio, Cricut machines, thousands of DVDs, board games, Legos, and free classes on writing, finances, ESL, book making, etc. Check out your public library, you might be surprised!

Funny how most of Maga doesn't know what fascism means... They think we're using the word wrong.

I'm totally OK with being called woke. It just means that I'm showing off my green flags. Happy to follow others with green flags. #woke

Ringing in my birthday by turning in a masters paper that basically had me in tears of overwhelm. Big thanks to my husband for an amazing dinner that gave me the calm I needed to finish. #Scorpio #birthday #mastersincounseling
