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.

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.

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

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.
