Today, this song and...it made me cry. Yes, I am recovering from breaking my femur on a hike 12/31. Surgery on 01/02..rehab. Now home in a snow storm. Walking to TV news. Overwhelming. Lies. So, music. S&G I cried. We've lost America. Can we ever find America?

So, you might know I walk a lot. Gorgeous morning 12/31. Friend called asked if I wanted to walk Bro and his dogs at wonderful old past farm by water. I wanted 217 miles for Dec and said only need 1.24 miles. I'm sharing my tracker. I had already done the early walk. Then, on a trail, I fell!

Christmas, 13 years ago. The suggestion "Hey, let's get a picture with Mom/Nanny with the kids." Didn't turn out quite like a picture with The Queen. Should I have jumped over the back of the couch? Now, 4 are 20-23, 1-15,2-13..me? Ugh. 77. All taller than I.

Avoiding news. Watching West Wing on Netflix. Even WH sets, oh wow, miss the elegance of the WH pre the #47 Welfare Queen destruction. This epi has interviews with past staff R & D. The class, the reverence compared to this gang. Season 3 Episode 19 The West Wing Special. Rs should hate freeloader.

The #1 movie from when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. May have been #1 when I was 10, but I didn't see it. I'll look forward to 2026.

From raining and windy to WTH, am I going to die? Now, just nasty wind and rain...so glad Bro and I walked at 6! Bro would be like a kite!!

Hey, BSers, Good night. Hope you sleep well. See you in the morning. Rain predicted by 7, so will have to get out earlier. Oh, and sweet dreams.

Med ads on TV. Tiny streamers at bottom of screen..You know, possible dangerous reactions. But, happy people in the video and then a person verbally warning of dire possibilities. My? How does one know if one is allergic if one has never taken the new & wonderful med? "Do not take if allergic." HUH?

Good morning. Such a difference 15 minutes make on a first morning walk. The snowy, night looking one at 6:22 Sunday morning. This morning, a red sky was already moving, from rising very east at 6:37 this morning. Still, Brogan refuses to walk by the woods. I let him run the show and we turn around.

OK, turned him off...I can't take it. Also, my Gool, how can these fools believe him. How can anyone?

Wow, found out I've been blocked by some people. I'm kind of thinking that I didn't even know who they were..maybe I was sent a follow request and then, I didn't ..so they're feelings got hurt? Anyway..here's looking at you, whoever.

And, so it begins. First outing this morning. No one else out..Sooo quiet. Just beautiful. Not cold. The foot/paw prints are Bro's and mine. I love this. And, we did not follow the road to the cove..coyotes would still be out. Good morning, BSers. Am I odd, again I love this.

Morning walk, weather says, "feel like 3". Walk to cove and a red sky that moved so quickly. Construction complete on the road. Cross walk doesn't have the plastic stickers that I slipped on last January. Now painted. View looks busy. Ugly poles, plastic sheets still up, walk signs, stop signs.

Good Morning, BSers..So, when you're so cold walking back from the water and try to take a selfie but make a mini video. Good morning and cold. Wind off the water, hitting my face. Does close the pores! This, on trip home which was quicker. BTW, yes, the sun was blazing! Trying to warm things up.

Good morning, BSers. Very chilly this morning. Clean, fresh air but walking up a hill kind of took my breath away. I think my sleepy lungs weren't awake yet. Winter will soon be here and I have to get my scarves out. Still, a beautiful morning.
