God bless our neighbor who for the third time this Winter has plowed us out and never asks for anything. Thank you John.

I’m the son and grandson of ministers, there are 7 ministers in my family, I’m in church almost every Sunday worshipping God. I don’t understand people who have “Christian” in their profile and are defending ICE. You worship a different Christ than I do.

Halftime means going out to fill the bird feeder. But first you dress for an Arctic expedition.

Found this today at an antique store. If you are from central Illinois you know what a legend Toby was. Back when newspapers had local columnists who had ink their veins and brought local characters and issues to life. They were must reading.

Ann to Randy, we should go to the antique mall this afternoon.

Randy: it’s cold and I’m researching garden hoses.

Ann: you need serious counseling, do you think you’re going to use new hoses next week?

Randy: could be warming trend coming

Ann: we are leaving at Noon

I remember a group Americans who also waived the flag, thumped their bibles and called people communists and celebrated the government beating and killing Americans, it was during Vietnam and history doesn’t look kindly on them and their actions and beliefs.

Things that make feel old. Bank tellers dressed like they are going to work out instead of wearing business attire, paying for gas before I pump it, hearing 70s and 80s music on “oldies radio” and watching friends retire. 😂

How about a bit of summer from our garden on this cold and grey day
January 17, 2026 at 1:58 PM
to do list, finish ordering seeds, place orders for sprays and wander around some stores to see if they have gardening supplies out yet and complain about living where January-February are miserable @joyf.bsky.social @cabofun.bsky.social @flutterbyflora.bsky.social @mariecarnes.bsky.social

For the 35th and final time, it’s time for me to start a Spring Legislative Session. Not sure where the years went.
