Getting older, just like you. More empathy, less apathy. Ask as many questions as you want and learn as much as you can. Be an active participant. Speak your mind. Take up space. (thoughts/views = my own.)

I was very lucky to be able to visit the White House a couple years ago. One of the things I was excited to see was the east colonnade, the site of the iconic photo of President Obama @barackobama.bsky.social running with the family dog, Bo.

Now, it's rubble.
Photo taken (by me) at the entrance of the White House's East Colonnade prior to it being torn down by the Trump Administration in Oct. 2025 President Barack Obama and dog Bo running down the East Colonnade. This photo used to hang on the wall in the corridor. East Wing entrance of the White House, prior to destruction. Taken 2023 by me.

Super belated, but the only bathroom decor I like better than my "Stay Dry Octopi" shower curtain is this adorable mermaid @railroadofsin.bsky.social painted for us - she didn't even know our colors and matched perfectly. Thank you dear friend!! 🤗

Never in my life did I dream I could call a place like this home. We heard a family of black-tail deer frequent here, and we were delighted to see them show up at dusk! Grazing our meadow and Huckleberry bushes ❤️

First night in our new place exceeds alllll expectations. 🦌🌲

Looks like Papa Murphy's decided to pick up that weird trend and run with it. 😬

I was a Hot Pretzel and Panda Express kind of gal.

Your photo is fantastic!!

I do that with this pic all the time. I can't believe I took it (during the previous admin...)
