The #1 movie from when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. May have been #1 when I was 10, but I didn't see it. I'll look forward to 2026.

They are quiet but I tell their stories. I loved walking with my kids and then, Grands...For instance, my GD also saw this dragon trying to cross a dirt road on our walk. Puff was very kind to us after we told it that we wouldn't tell people where it lived. 😀

Good morning. Such a difference 15 minutes make on a first morning walk. The snowy, night looking one at 6:22 Sunday morning. This morning, a red sky was already moving, from rising very east at 6:37 this morning. Still, Brogan refuses to walk by the woods. I let him run the show and we turn around.

And, Jon, I'd like to point out that I have no Idea..who or what Gool is...ha,ha. Put streaming West Wing back on the TV. Typing this to you on laptop..feet up and Bro snuggled by my hip..muti-tasking? Now, if only someone would make me a "nice cuppa tea"

I do miss living in a NNY village and taking our yellow lab out. So quiet. Wood smoke from stoves and fireplaces. The college kids (2 colleges) in their dorms or downtown. Snow crunching, the only noise. Houses with lights on. Lights seemed yellow not the blinding led white lights.

Lazy morning..good, sort of still morning, at least here in SE CT. So, 2 memes that I saw, thought I'd share. Sorry..yeah, lazy. Anyway, I agree, so sharing. Usually fact check..but these, come on. Cliche' it is what it is..or HE is what he is. Ewww & Ugh. (not grown up, I know) Enjoy your day.

Wow, found out I've been blocked by some people. I'm kind of thinking that I didn't even know who they were..maybe I was sent a follow request and then, I didn't ..so they're feelings got hurt? Anyway..here's looking at you, whoever.

And, so it begins. First outing this morning. No one else out..Sooo quiet. Just beautiful. Not cold. The foot/paw prints are Bro's and mine. I love this. And, we did not follow the road to the cove..coyotes would still be out. Good morning, BSers. Am I odd, again I love this.

Morning walk, weather says, "feel like 3". Walk to cove and a red sky that moved so quickly. Construction complete on the road. Cross walk doesn't have the plastic stickers that I slipped on last January. Now painted. View looks busy. Ugly poles, plastic sheets still up, walk signs, stop signs.

I did get a selfie. I like to send to my NNY friends because they see the temp here and it seems OK. I lived on the border not far from St.Lawrence Seaway and my field office was the N.ADKs and north to border. Huge St. Lawrence County. Out and about..but this wind off the water? Now, a wimp.

Good Morning, BSers..So, when you're so cold walking back from the water and try to take a selfie but make a mini video. Good morning and cold. Wind off the water, hitting my face. Does close the pores! This, on trip home which was quicker. BTW, yes, the sun was blazing! Trying to warm things up.

BTW, my brother was the captain of the golf team. Guess the Academy didn't have golf uniforms.

Ahhh, Wilma. I don't have a sister but I had a big brother. After college, he went to Vietnam and then came home, married his wife and settled in AZ. Sadly, when he was 28 and I was 26, he was killed by a drunk driver. Girls wore dresses in the 50s.

Good morning, Jean. The same sun traveled here too, ha,ha. I think hiding, at times behind clouds. Happy Saturday. Gorgeously sunny but "nippy". CT SE shoreline saying hello and heading out.

Happy Saturday, BSers. Hope you maybe caught up on some sleep. The sun had begun its move across Patty's cove...Good morning. It gets shy and uses some clouds to hide. "Nippy" out but no wind..water proverbial glass stillness.

Found these two pics of my field office..ha,ha, It was St. Lawrence county in NNY. Trust me, very large. Along the St. Lawrence Seaway into ADKs. My workday didn't stop just because of roads like this. Ha, ha. BTW, don't know why I took these pics way back when.

Good morning, All. On this Sunday morning, I just "wish" for this. Doesn't cost anything. Not asking for a donation. But then, I'm thinking it DOES "COST" something. If you're an R politician, you lose votes for being decent.

TMI? Bro after walk, potty, breakfast, yelled at turkeys on lawn. Now, totally out! On my hip as I sit with laptop chatting with you. Need my 2nd mug of coffee. But, I can't move. So, no one can stop by. I'm in PJs still but with a hoodie. I keep house chilly. Anyway, life is good.

Good morning. Brogan must have "felt" the coyotes were back in their dens. Out early, great fresh air, sun actually quite blinding..so, we zoomed past the woods to "Patty's Cove"! But by then, the sun got shy. Still, good morning sun, good morning water and lone duck floating around and YOU BSers.

Oh no!! When you aren't rich. No quid pro quo for Turkey.

I'm not one to brag....but, after the early morning, chilly walk with Brogan, this...hope your day is going well. I'm thinking of brushing my teeth. This after drinking the two mugs of coffee that "the maid" had waiting for me when I came in from the walk.

WTH, twice People..twice. And, the 2nd time, more entitled, more enabled. Thanks those who chose this "path" and those who didn't vote or who wrote in a useless name.
