That’s a beautiful picture

I knitted hats for my friends who were attending the protests.

Redoing my home office and I realize how much I miss Bed Bath and Beyond. Being able to walk in and find a variety of quality items at different price points. There are

One of my favorite birds. We have one that made our neighborhood his home here in central Jersey for the last few years, and he is an absolute joy to watch. He loves sitting on my neighbors fence or bush and dancing for a mate.

Bad Bunny’s new album is absolutely amazing. Every time I listen to “Tuista” I am overwhelmed with emotion. The album transported me to Puerto Rico, sitting under a palma with my abuelitos, drinking agua de coco and eating quenepas. What a beautiful gift. Thank you, Benito. 🇵🇷❤️

Absolutely! I feel like Dems are just sitting on their hands and this drone situation is going to be the tipping point for many voters. There is no trust in our current elected officials.

I’m going to make a prediction: NJ will go red next year if residents do not get answers soon. What began as a joke with only a few people following this incident has exploded. Bergen’s frustration has become the common refrain. Silence and ambiguity are unacceptable.

Is that what was thrown at my house every morning?

my addition would be "pero el pelo de gato es gratis."

Someone please nominate Mr. Reginald Noble to the New Jersey HOF, please!

Discussing the drone situation in NJ over breakfast this morning.

Teenager: the government isn’t going to tell us what they’re doing. It’s like my orthodontist. He doesn’t tell me anything. It’s happening in my mouth and yet I don’t know what’s going on.

Hearing there have been sighting over McGuire-Dix but can’t confirm.

Now Or Never

This is absolute blasphemy

I’m going out on a limb and borrowing Gov. Murphy’s favorite word to say that it’s probably a bunch of knuckleheads playing with their #drones in Morris County #NJ

I concur with you on diversity. We’re also a household where a language other than English is commonly spoken. My county has a large percentage of immigrants who mostly work in chicken processing.

National Center for Education Statistics estimates 66% of Americans have limited functional literacy

More than 30% of NJ residents are non English speakers with 120+languages spoken. The states with more language diversity are CA and TX & followed by NY and FL. Hence why the lower English literacy rates. If you look at household income, lower English literacy does not always mean lower income.

*Thinking ugh!!😩

Similarly, had an interesting convo over the weekend about grad students with no experience unwilling to take entry level positions because they think they’re experts. This tinking is everywhere now

I actually did run out and buy a stash of yarn worth a small fortune because my next project was supposed to be a sweater. 💀 BUT, no, I didn’t blame my instructor because I learned from YouTube. I failed at both and then found a real life teacher to show me the way.

I have to chuckle because I learned how to knit about 10 years ago. Once I learned how to knit and purl, the first project I attempted was fingerless gloves. But not those open mitts, the kind with no tips on each finger. 🤦‍♀️

She is not exaggerating.

We make choices every day. Where we spend our money, how we spend our time, and what we choose to watch. I don’t remember Trump followers being peppered with these articles when they left twitter for Truth Social.
