Our cat Rosie sits in our window, which faces the neighbor’s house. If their cat is also in the window, you can hear Rosie cackling at her.
I asked my son, did you know Rosie did that? “Yeah,” he replies, “she’s a hater.”

One of my favorite things about volunteering is seeing all of the amazing work of other volunteers!
We made a display of scarves and hats made by our knitting group. All these hats and scarves will be donated later this year! 🧶

![Wikipedia page on Peace through Strength
"Peace through strength" is a phrase that suggests that military power can help preserve peace. It has been used by many leaders from Roman Emperor Hadrian in the second century AD to former US President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. The concept has long been associated with realpolitik.[1] The idea has critics, with Andrew Bacevich stating, "'Peace through strength' easily enough becomes 'peace through war.'"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nsqi3cualnhum2w6owuca7rh/bafkreic2bdbh6x355ipitlticn2o3hzlcwjv5fgc7vm7444igxiz2swzau@jpeg)
My son has been making snacks for his D&D club for two years. He wanted to make something special for the last meeting of the year. He made this two layer (9x13) castle cake. It is ridiculous in the best way…
