Dusting of my protest sign and headed to a Hands Off event on Saturday. I simply have to do something!

Yesterday I had to promise my rescue dog Jessie (who is naughty sometimes) that I would not allow anyone from homeland security into our home. Pet owners unite!

On Christmas I received this card and a text from President Biden. In my 77 years, I have loved some Presidents (Kennedy/Obama) and admired the political skill of others (Clinton/Johnson). But no one has combined character, accomplishment, and decency more than President Biden. I will truly miss him

I made a bit too much ham for Christmas. The Berner, Luna, the only one of mine in the picture, however, does not appear to be daunted yet. Hope you are enjoying a peaceful December 26.

Posting for those who appreciate Edward Gorey's vision of Christmas. Best of holidays to all.

Like thousands of Harris volunteers, I received this holiday card. With an image created by a DC Public School senior, Tania Salmeron, this card reminded me once again of the generosity of Kamala Harris and how she lifts up others, even when just sending a card.

Boston is now ready for Christmas. The Ducks in Boston Garden are now decked out in their holiday finery.

I consider the red panda my spirit animal. Thinking of them on this first day of snow in Boston.

We take Thanksgiving seriously in Boston. Even the duckling statues on Boston Common dress up for the day.

I believe I will be united with all my dogs at my end; here's a picture of my third Bernese Mountain Dog, Lance. He lived with me for twelve years -- and it was always blue skies and a summer days for Lance. #dogsofbluesky #BerneseMountainDogs

Good morning! May you have a beautiful day.

A new heating system is being installed in my home. Luna and Jessie are not happy. They have hidden as far under the bed as they can (tough for Luna). #dogsofbluesky

On the childrensbookalmanac.com today I talk about a very accessible immigrant story, Uri Shulevitz's "How I Learned Geography." Fleeing from Warsaw at the end of World War II, Uri arrived in America and found a map that saved him. #immigration #kidlit #picturebooks #bookoftheday

Over the last week, I have been thinking about my father, John Silvey, and his four brothers and brother-in-law who fought Nazis and Dictators in World War II. The memory of them gives me courage.

As a new member, I want to post a picture of my emotional support dog Luna. Rescued from a puppy mill, she became my first foster fail and reminds me every day to live in the moment.
