It's pouring outside and Eli needed a robe after coming in from the rain. Koko had a Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer robe and Eli was happy to try it on.

Just taking a mental break looking at 1940's-style gown (and little cape!) which is out of my budget and also I have no place to wear such a creation. But *sigh* www.thehouseoffoxy.com/products/194...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
And there is SNOW outside! Already have been out with Eli, who is eating snow. He is delighted. So am I.
