Shopping with David

So I just watched trump's unhinged presser about greenland, panama canal, and changing gulf of mexico to gulf of america. The man is insane. Then zuck saying he is getting rid of fact-checkers. 

 

  

Trying to figure out how to stay sane. 

I am going to delete my threads account (FB based), and probably FB ... I know everyone will really miss my ranting there (not). I hate to delete Instagram, but it is fB based. I do not want to support these platforms that obviously don't give a shit about truth, reality or justice. 

 I will is miss fb Marketplace! and posting about the grandkids but I have decided I can also just note all of that on the blog. All of my ranting about trump for 8 years didn't do a thing. I need to find my important post like David's obit, mom's obit, etc and save those out. 

Just trying to talk through my next course of action. 

I am not using my shift for caps because it keeps getting stuck. I guess I am going to have to get a new keyboard soon. 

The sun is shining, Matt is working on the stairs! The kids are back in school and we have a couple of hours of peace and quiet. All is right with the world. Matt was remembering yesterday, when David would like his fingers to comb Matt's hair down before photos. It is the sweet things we remember about the ones we love and who loved us.

I wish I was at the beginning of decorating my home. I love this huge fish wallpaper!

 

I was telling my friend the other day (in her 50's) to enjoy the search and requisition of "things" because before she knows it, that desire will no longer be there.

 

FB Marketplace is torturing me ... MCM Franciscan Indian Summer Dinner Set-Perfect for Thanksgiving! For $125.00.  I want them, desperately! But don't need them, have no place for them. Reminds me of my other Leaf Plates.

 

 

 

There just reaches a moment in your life when you have to start clearing out your life. Assessing your belongings. Keeping the really precious things and giving away the other stuff. And it is hard on your heart, making buying any other "precious" stuff not so appealing. Which means, even going out to look for stuff doesn't make sense. Kate and I did have fun at the Antique Mall the other day. I found3 really great finds, a signed carved duck and a cast-iron Indian chief with tepee piggy bank ... both of which David would have bought. After the visitation I had from him, it seems weird to know he was there shopping with us. Kate kept the piggy bank.
