Yay, a local newspaper seems to have had it with Trump. And this is MAGA territory. #autism #Tylenol #acetaminophen

It’s Barn Day!
I did not know this was a thing.
I love to photograph barns. Here are just a few of the hundreds I have taken.

I’ll celebrate when we are free of Donald Trump.

Am I being dramatic?

No.

My daughter and I spent her birthday yesterday with a visit to Filoli. The estate is wonderful!

My time in California is flying by. Yosemite was just wonderful. I could never go there in the summer or on a weekend, though. We went early on a Thursday. Crowds were manageable.

Snow Treasure. Children in Norway used their sleds to smuggle gold bars past Nazi guards to a waiting ship. I remember being a nervous wreck while reading it. 🥴

106th Charles Wysocki puzzle
Done.
Writing more now, so the next puzzle will take longer to complete. 🧩✍️📖

So, I opened this puzzle and found 1,000 blank pieces.

I would have loved this years ago. When my son was running for student body, I painted puzzle pieces his school colors and he glued each one down on a piece of card stock that read “Don’t be puzzled, vote for…”

But today, I was like, wth?

I’m working on my 105th Charles Wysocki puzzle.

After I die and my kids have to go through my things, they are going to say, “What the hell, Mom,” when they open a bedroom closet. 🥴🧩

The West Virginia legislature wants to change the name of our highest peak, Spruce Knob, to Trump Mountain.
Seriously, I’m ready to throw up. Wtf 🤬

I would never go there again.

No. It did great for a while, but the sporadic sales later on irritated my tax situation and I just wanted to quickly file and be done with it, so I took that and another book down. Lol

Coal-fired power plant near me.
Such a lovely sight. 🙄
9th highest emitter of toxic gas in the U.S. in 2023, according to the EPA.

Flew from brick red West Virginia to the blue state of California and took this photo of the beautiful blue sky while on a road trip. Love this state. I could move here.
The election took a lot out of me. I loathe Donald Trump. This vacation is just what I needed.

The story of Edward Braddock’s burial intrigued me and that’s how the setting for my #wip “The Parade of Fiery Darts” took place.
My fictional Sycamore Springs is located beside #FortNecessity and Edward Braddock makes humorous ghostly appearances in my #historicalfiction #familysaga novel.
