Where do I find this stuff?

Unearthing

I am going over to help my friend watching her dogs while she is out of town. Not looking forward to it. My dog is in fast decline so I worry, and will worry while I am gone. Not far away so I can always rush home. 

I really missed this! Am going to take my laptop, hoping it will work ;) so I can blog while I am gone. 

It is hot here today and I am trying to gather up stuff to take with me. Can never get far away from the news. This lastest distraction of tulsi-butthole threatening Obama is really irking me to my f*cking core. Oh, look over here while trump ignores his base and calls them stupid. I swear, I hate out country right now. We live in the DUMBEST timeline, ever. 

Oh, and did you catch this video of Mehdi Hasan debating a bunch of brain-dead young conservatives was very entertaining! It's a must-watch to see what we are up against. I wish I would be around to see just how the history books cover this terrible time in our lives. 

  

And then I found this and LOL. I can't wait until this little f*cking facist is identified.

Anyway, back to the more beautiful things in life ... Justin Hoffman's work feels like I just discovered art in an archaeological dig.

Yucking it up

I find the greatest selection of photos the kids have taken on my phone. I call this one the Car Girls, 3 years ago. I won't even go into the videos I find!

Defunding our way of life

Hello beloved blog! And friends! No, I have not died. 

So much going on in our horrible world, each day feeling worse than the previous day. But you all know this. I keep thinking - we can survive this but I wonder just how different our country will be in 4 years. I remember the first time he was in office and David and I said, maybe he will rise to the job. Trying to be fair. But the learned much in his first four years of how to really get his way, with the help of the Heritage Society and all his ball-less cult in congress. Department of Education, defunded. PBS defunded. God knows we don't want Yellow Bird or Mystery Theatre to corrupt our minds, influence our politics. I am truly at a loss for words. My only word these days begins with an F and I use it many times during the day. 

My life is going really good despite my deep depression over politics The kids are doing good, out of school for the summer. Lots of crying, fist fights, splashing in the pool killing the grass in the backyard, trips to our local pool, spending time with their friends. Getting funnier by the day. They are too smart for their own good. 

Bri has been tirelessly working on the yard. Matt finished the deck, the stairs, the large deck. Bri bought all kinds of new seating and tables. We planted lots of new plants. She is really getting into gardening. We ripped up the lillies on the side yard and she planted a garden. She hung lots of hanging flowers. Now just lots of watering to keep the hydrangeas alive. Planted some dahlias and watching them come out.

Matt is good, keeping up with his to-do list for the house. We have lots of repairs going on and getting ready to have the house painted.  He cooks most of the meals.

I feel very spoiled. They went on vacation for a couple of days and I had to feed myself. Can chili was my choice. I did cook my only dish, Shrimp Spaghetti and my new dish ... mushroom, onions sauce over pasta.

I have been thought of blogging every day and just never seem to get to it. But for my mental stability ... have decided to get back to getting my feelings out on paper. I spot art all the time that I think .. oh, I should blog this! 

Love these soothing landscapes from Jim Musil.
