#veteransday Lest we forget. Pictures 2-4 are my Dad (DDay Omaha Beach, wounded later in France) and the flag that draped his coffin in 2004. My brother, late brother-in-law, father-in-law, many relatives were/are veterans. No matter what orange & his lackeys think, we owe our veterans everything.

My grandcat Gygax da Boi unexpectedly crossed the Rainbow Bridge this morning. He is now laid to rest in their backyard, wrapped in a blanket with Cherokee symbols and a few Indian rituals. We are heartbroken. He was 7 years old. #petsarefamily

My nephew's sign, he is at a Dallas area protest. I'm not sure where exactly, not in Dallas but somewhere in that general area. I'm proud of him. #nokingsday

We're dog sitting for a relative that had a medical crisis yesterday. I forgot a dog in the house means you never go to the bathroom without an escort. Lucky was rescued from a hoarding situation. He's senior of unknown age. He goes to his daycare today, probably for a couple of days. #adoptdontshop

Got my flu shot today. At most, I'll be a little tired & maybe a slight headache. But any reaction is better than getting the flu. #vaccinessavelives

This is the flag that draped my father's casket 2004. My dad DDay vet fought the nazis in France. I refuse to let his & fellow soldier's efforts & sacrifices be in vain or forgotten. 🧶 #trumpisatraitor

What I'm doing today. Making letter size paper with boss's late dad's name into smaller note paper for boss's paper holder. The paper cutter goes with me when we close in 6 weeks so I'm using up old letterhead. It's therapeutic.

I'm enjoying my morning coffee in my patio, by my somewhat messy rock garden. I have plans to be neaten & enlarge it, but it is deliberately not cultured and perfect. It's meant to be fun and silly. #spendtimeoutdoors

Ii rearranged my bookshelf, these are the books I haven't gotten to yet. I'm building up my craft supplies and books before I retire at the end of September. While women are still allowed to buy books, that is. #stopproject2025

Any day that starts out with spiders is good day! Today's little cutie came up to me so I gently relocated her to my front yard. She'll have a better chance of finding food. Sorry the picture isn't the best. #spidersareourfriends

My grand-cat, Gygax da boi, did not think it was necessary to be awakBoi, on this rainy morning. He was not pleased with his mommy (my daughter) disturbing his slumber. #catsofbluesky

I found a wonderful surprise in my front yard yesterday. I'm Texan but live in NE Oklahoma. I planted them over 20 years ago, and they eventually naturalized. They were all over my yard. Then, 2019 flood level rains took them out and 🧶

I thought spiders were appropriate to wear today. I'm not shopping but I did go get a blood test to check titers in case I need a measles vaccine booster. #economicboycott

It's nearly Spring. In Oklahoma, that means wind. I started wearing scarves last year to keep my TexasBigHair under control. Time to bring them out again! #oklahomaweather
