In my thirties (40 yrs ago) I worked on a ranch where we raised Scottish highlanders. I got to mother two orphans. They are my ‘babies’ for two years until the owner sold them. I had lots of hug time but then lots of cry time. At least they were females and sold as breeders. Hugs

I just want to hug it

Thank you

That was my thought exactly

Oh yes! Now I need to find the box it’s packed in….2 years in this cottage in Deming NM and I’m still living out of boxes…oy

Oooh yes! Totoro and then Nausicaä

…wolfish…

Oh thank the universe. It’s a very scary image. Peace

This has been worrying me. I’m sending you this - Entering 2026 by an unknown artist but it fills me with hope. Hoping the same for you.

Y’all must not be addicted to caffeine

Hhhmmm. Wolfish…prompt for your next novel?

Is there such a thing as a ‘group sponsored publication’ ? Something like a ‘go fund me’ type of thing? Like investors who don’t expect dividends?
I saw a jack rabbit in my garden today. He wasn’t white (they aren’t) but he made me think of you. Sending strength.

I would put it aside in the fund I’m keeping for my 91 yo mom who has used up her reverse mortgage and will need finances as she continues to age.

I have a memory of my dad and I planting rose bushes for my mom for Mother’s Day…I was six or seven I think. May the coming new year be filled with lovely memories old and new. 2/2

Oh Liam- your mam is so beautiful. What a grand memory to have of her. What beautiful colors for her as well. I agree that it is best to remember our loved ones at their best and not during their struggles. 1/2

Just wanted to take a moment to tell you we had a Blessing Way ceremony done for you and your mum. Not usually done without the persons present, but y’all are there and we’re here so we did the best we could. Sending blessings of strength and healing.

Aha! In this case you picked the darkest areas first…hhhmmm need to try that.
