11/19/1863 Pres Abraham Lincoln follows the key note speaker’s 2+hr oration to dedicate a national cemetery in Gettysburg PA with a brief 9 sentence speech that is still widely recognized today. The cemetery was needed after the battle fought there left the town of 2500 people to bury 7000+ corpses.

I get frustrated with the character count on Bluesky. Wrote a lovely post about a beautiful thing - but was too long to post. Bottom line: there is still beauty in the world to enjoy. Hope your day bring beauty your way

In the midst of the horror of the current USA administration’s policies, it is wonderful to find places where people can find joy, without pretense (though imagination and pretending can be fun), and support those who are vulnerable. Sign in front of “it’s a small world” ride in the Mouse’s House

Had a fun day today on our short vacay: started with an early swim, listened to the bird give their opinions on various matters.

Curious phenomenon: I shop frugally: I choose something that meets my needs at a price that is affordable, and often get a follow-up suggestion
>Company: Hey, for only twice the cost you can buy a different something!
🤣🤣 Clearly the company missed the strength of “frugal” in my decision.

Yesterday I got to cast a vote in the global Christian denomination with which I am affiliated to end the colonial and USA-centric structure begun of old, and initiate a new structure that is grounded in equality and mutual respect for all people in all areas of the globe. WooHoo! 🎉🙌🏽🙏🏽

Remembering one year ago. When the days are filled with destruction, an important reminder that love will triumph - and we have a role to play in the struggle by being people of love and grace.

Household here is not fond of using AC. Grateful for cool mornings and decent insulation - able to keep the space fairly comfy, even when temps are nearly triple-digits like yesterday.
