This should make us angry and it should get us to speak out against what is happening all across our country.

My weekend alone continues. I’ve opened the windows for fall morning air and because one of the dogs pooped in the office. I lit a candle. I have tea and a somewhat warm croissant from Costco. I’m wrapped in an oversized fleece hoodie decorated with strawberries. Time to write! #writingcommunity
My husband and sons just left to go fishing for two days. I just cracked a crisp white claw and I’m about to turn on a British murder show and work on a needlepoint project. I’ll probably be in bed by 9 with a book. I may have another white claw. I may let the dog sleep with me! THE NIGHT IS MINE!
In bed with a book at 9 pm on a Saturdayβ€”old.

Durham county has municipal primary elections this coming Tuesday, the 7th and it’s crazy how difficult it is to find info on candidates with a simple search.
JSU has always had an incredible marching band. Love watching them!

To the brave women who spoke today about the horrors of Epstein/Maxwell, I say this:

For any legal concerns about speaking the names of people who sexually abused you and others, have no fear of legal expenses; I'm sure plenty of angry Americans will help fund you. Count me in. Get it done.
I think reading this regulated my nervous system.
This is a beautiful garment.

Let me show you what makes it special. 🧡
Whiskey, needlepoint, baseball on tv, and then a book before bed. Guess how old I am.
We’ve got a couple in our neighborhood. So cool!
Sometimes, I read through my Dictionary of Southern Appalachian English and find gems like this.
boughten is a great word, and it should be used more often, especially preceding the word bread
i’d have boughten that for a dollar
Searching for this immediately
Everyone needs to watch Bookish because I want another series. It's absolutely charming - murder mystery miniseries about a bookseller played by Mark Gatiss who solves crimes. He's living in the 1940s in a lavender marriage with the glorious polly walker.
