Hey, Governor! Big fan!
Wondering if you’re gonna give a shout out to the Minnesota Lynx? They’ve led the WNBA the entire season, and have started the playoffs well… 🎉🏀⛹🏽‍♀️

Wow! Not even mid-Sept and already moisture is falling from the sky!! Very usual!!

And then this happened!!:

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

Need a minute to brag: I cooked AND cleaned IN THE SAME DAY!! Ha! One can even see counter tops in the kitchen!! 🎉🥳

Hooray! Please make the third show a matinee 🙏🏽

Who else loves to simply watch people walk their dogs? It almost brings me joy.

From Aug 8, 1989 by Roy Disney:
“For 25 years, ‘the happiest cruise that ever sailed’ has shown millions a world of peace, understanding and friendship. We re-dedicate ‘it's a small world’ to
the ideals of UNICEF, and re-affirm the commitment
of The Walt Disney Company to all the world's children.”

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 such a fun thing happen yesterday: while visiting the Mouse House in southern CA - we bumped into an entire group of our family from western TX!!! Was wonderful to give hugs to fam we rarely see in person! ❤️

When searching for info on the internet, the top response is often generated by AI - and is usually filled with mistakes and contradictions - so I have stopped even looking at the top response…
Who else skips the AI answer?

And it happened again in the way home!! WooHoo!!

So cool!!! Today in an early morning commute MANY people used their turn signals to indicate lane changes and turns BEFORE they happened!! Great start to the week!

Topped off the day with a Bavarian meal accompanied with live music AND as a BEAUTIFUL full moon rose - headed back to our lodgings with a drive thru an iconic “strip” filled with bright lights and amazing architecture. Such a great day!

Had a lovely brunch, served by waitstaff dressed in avocados! Precious! Got to assist the crew of Starship Discovery when they got caught in a predicament (escape room fun), played air hockey with about a hundred pucks skittering simultaneously!

Had a fun day today on our short vacay: started with an early swim, listened to the bird give their opinions on various matters.
(Bluesky has such a small character count - if you want to read more about my day, check out the comments.)

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.

I must confess: i do not understand how increasing poverty, hunger, illness, and pollution make the country great….

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.

@tarahtrueblood.bsky.social HBD! May love and joy abound!! 🎉🎶🎂
Hope to see more posts of your art soon!

No Kings! Local protest was beautiful to behold: all ages, races, and combos showing up. Best attendance so far! AND - more than double the number of communities hosting protests this time around! 🎉🇺🇸

No Kings! Blessed to have three generations in the fam turn out to stand for democracy! SIL was even shown on their local news station with the great sign he made. Let’s keep showing up! It is no time to keep quiet!

To all the folks who strive to be a good fatherly role models - Thank you!
>>Having fun with fam today: honoring the Dad in our house with favorite foods and fun movies. ❤️

Had a beautiful day yesterday gathered to celebrate a wonderful group of 18 y/o who just completed High School! Beautiful people with compassion, a strong moral compass, intelligence, and a lot of love to share with the world. Thank you to the parents and teachers who helped are their community!

Empowering women - supporting the WNBA 🎉
Golden State Valkyries had a GREAT day today! An excellent day to be in “Ballhalla”!! 🙌🏽

A moose by our rental car this morning!! 🫎😍

Hubby’s belly-button bday! 🥳🎉😍 Went to the Alaska Native Heritage Center - WONDERFUL place! Then did a “twilight soak” at a Nordic spa. Absolutely wonderful! And the scenery on the drive is SPECTACULAR!!! Plus - even tho it is after 11 pm local time, the sun has not yet set! Most excellent!!
