Good morning welcome to Tippetty tap tap Thursday

Kindness and politeness aren’t overrated, they’re simply not used enough.

A little kindness each day can create a ripple effect, brightening lives in ways we may never fully see.

I would love it if you stopped by the Sioux City Art Center to see my new painting! It’s part of the Local Perspectives exhibition, and you can see it at 225 Nebraska Street, Sioux City, Iowa now until February 8th, 2026.

#Autumn is my favourite season 🧡

I wrote this #poem in 1986, age 18. Just as summer leads to autumn, so does girlhood give way to #womanhood. Autumn embodies the true #passion of #Nature🍂🍁

Isn't it great when a reviewer really seems to get what you tried to convey?

Lunch leftovers: salad with grilled chicken, turkey bacon, avocado, banana peppers, carrots, cucumbers, and feta with a honey mustard creasing. Cleaned out the fridge with this one. 😍🍜🍽️

And thanks once again, Bill. Just got a new stellar review at Goodreads on New Hope. Someone in the UK.

The founders of the Dominion discovered sorcery. Or did they? Reyya doesn't care what it's called, so long as it works.

Just because some, or their cat, is gone, I believes love lives on. This picture reminds me of how important love is.

I was at an estate sale several years ago and bought a picture of a cat because of the cute frame it was in. But I found myself unable to remove the picture and discard it. This was someone's cat, a cat they obviously loved. So now its memory sits on my mantle
