Today, I volunteered for the first time for Free Mom Hugs at the Juneteenth celebration in Lawrence, KS. What a fun and meaningful time. I can’t wait to do it again! @freemomhugsinc.bsky.social

This square design centers on a photograph of Parkville Coffee’s Local Authors Room at the back of the main floor. Shelves full of books by local authors line the wall. A comfortable chair under a lamp invites patrons in to sit and browse the reading selections, which range from children’s books through YA and adults. Visible covers offer stories about animals, families, fantasy, science fiction, mysteries, and more. At upper left is the Parkville Coffee logo. Centered below the photo, the words say, β€œApril 19,2025, 2p.m. – Featuring this month’s Authors: Samantha Fidler-Newby, Jan S. Gephardt, Lynette M. Burrows. 103 Main St, Parkville, OM 64152 – (816) 261-6560.”

Pyewacket deeply objects to being photographed for #caturday. Can you see her dirty look?

I'm not a knitter, but my daughters are. I share your links to them often. The clocks caught my interest, but I love the smartwatch gloves!

Why Standard Time Is Healthier Than Daylight Saving Time While the end of Daylight Saving Time means an extra hour of sleep for some, it can have an impact on the body and pose health risks.

I vote to stick with #StandardTime. It's healthier for us. sleepreviewmag.com/sleep-health....

Higgins boat, packed with soldiers, getting ready to land at Normandy, France on 6 June 1944.

On 6 June 1944, while Americans were fighting at Omaha Beach, Canadians were fighting at Juno Beach. Our brothers, who fought and died by our side – who helped us defeat Fascism, are not our enemy. They are our true friends. Canadians are our brothers and sisters and I stand with them 100%.

Rebecca Lee Crumpler became the first African American female medical doctor in 1864...and that's just one of her amazing achievements. Such a courageous, caring hero.

I'm teaching Fahrenheit 451 in 9th Grade ELA. It's scary how close to the news it is. Inspiring line of the day: "Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were headed for shore." #resist
