Great childhood memories of looking through the Christmas catalogues that arrived at our house every November: Sears and Roebuck, Spiegel, J C Penney, Montgomery Wards. My sister and I would turn the pages and select our favorites. Just a dream world really. But that is how happy children pretend.

Watching a movie made in Australia, 2012, The Sapphires. It's the 6th time I've seen the movie. The story is based on true life, set in 1968 Australia during the Vietnam war, where a quartet of singing sisters and cousins visit the troops to bring them a great selection of Motown hits. Recommend!

"And the 2025 Flying Fickle Finger of Fate Award goes to the Schmucks who have more money than they or their children and grandchildren can ever spend but who fully support the current incompetent, cruel, authoritarian regime. Jeff Bezos is here to accept the award for all his fellow schmucks."

Thinking about my father who 81 years ago was on a ship crossing the Atlantic toward Italy at age 20. From a poor Texas farm, he went to war to fight European fascists after training his younger brothers to help their dad. The story is amazing.

Today I'm convinced that the few @democrats.senate.gov who betrayed us and last week's election victories KNOW THAT THE GOP WILL NOT HONOR ANY AGREEMENT. They are as aware as we of the corruption in this GOP regime. They favored the airline industry's concerns and turned their backs on ours.

I'm out here fighting for the democracy I want these dear great-grandchildren to grow up in.
Please #FightForUs in the @democrats.senate.gov . Do not cave to this criminal regime. End your service in the Senate with dignity and honor BY STANDING STRONG AGAINST THE REGIME.

A vintage mall find. The Goethe quote has a lot to unpack in it. I'm focusing today on the thought that we cannot own beauty but that we should try to communicate.

This image stuck in my head for decades now. I don't know its source or authenticity. But it speaks a plain language of greed and apathy.

The Fickle Finger of Fate Award goes to the Young Republicans Club. They are the white privileged spawn of Country Club Republicans who assume that the we look at their lives and think "Wow! I'd love to eat and vote and rape without consequences! Where do I sign up to be forever ridiculed?"

Reminder to all you who grow wild areas around your homes. Leave the growth and debris until March or April, depending on your area. The dried debris provides winter shelter and seed for insects and small birds. #WildflowerLandscaping

Using my phone camera. I am at the Netflix studios and come across this warning that rattlesnakes do exist in areas not covered with concrete and asphalt. I've nearly stepped on rattlers many times in my 72 years! (The warning is actually good for folks who never step into the wild.)

Films in the 1930s were great distractions for the vast majority of Americans who were hungry, worried about their jobs and homes, making house dresses from flour sacks.
The #GOPFascists are doing their damnest to distract us while they get richer and we worry about our homes and jobs.

This was my father. He was only 20 years old when he joined the 10th Mountain Division of the U.S. Army and was sent from Camp Hale, Colorado, to fight against the fascists in Italy. His ashes are in Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery.

My son-in-law took his giant pumpkin to the official weigh-in in Denver. It weighs over 1000 lbs and won a blue ribbon for the largest from NM.
He builds rich soil and mulch, uses drip and mist systems, and protects the pumpkins from our persistent sun. See it at Jericho Nursery.

One year ago, we rescued baby Dolly from a barn. She is learning how to schmooze. Every kitty wants to schmooze in their own way, and Dolly likes to have her face rubbed and kissed. She and our 120 lb German Shepherd are best friends. Yes, we keep her indoors but give her plenty of outdoor viewing!
