It’s that time of year in Tx where it’s cool enough to need an extra blanket but then too warm to use extra blanket for long (rinse & repeat all night)

Sending peace to you; it’s hard to lose a parent anyway but I find moreso when the relationship was conflicted. Please take good care of yourself as the waves of emotions sort out. 💔

Funny, just heard about the stds today, apparently there’s a documentary that I’m going to look for. I think I saw a massive Trump golf cart parade during first term & that stuck w me. I did see the no kings from there, one brother prolly had a stroke discovering that he had non trump neighbors 😜

Any thoughts/opinions on The Villages/FL? (not for me, what little I know sorta frightens me, but 2 brothers are pushing for family elder)

Hey Denton area friends, how come now one told me about trombone guy? He’s awesome, I’m in a shit mood (family drama) and watching this guy was a gift today

Update: We are now at 2-1-1 as far as how the four of us think things should be handled. I’ve bent as far as I can without either breaking or walking away. We’re meeting again in WTX to try to sort it all out. We all agree on protecting the elder from our dissension, so that’s good, at least

The 3 fish in the small aquarium we once had died when my husband was out of town. I cleaned it all up, put it away. Three MONTHS after his return he looked at the spot, paused and said “didn’t we have fish??

Good luck with your updates, great looking switchplates!

Ajike, may she be at peace.

Those moms on that block were all just beautiful, the caring for each other’s families 💔

Sorry, I’m just way invested in so many angles of this!

Don’t stop watching when the credits roll, it says something to me that white woman’s disposition is relegated to the credits

I read a wonderful interview with one of those moms who talked about how she couldn’t deal with a lot of it during production but came to trust the director, a WOC who was mentored by Spike Lee, to tell the story w the respect it deserves.

It. Wrecked. Me. Yet I can’t recommend it highly enough & the day may come when I choose to watch it again.

That’s one of my favorite parts of going to NM & taking a walk after snowfall in the Sandias, just incredibly silent! Kind of allows for a brain reset (for me, anyway). I haven’t skied in a while, still have some of my gear, but feel like I would now bust my ass even on the bunny slope! 🏔️

Such a foreign concept to me!

I’m honestly surprised those organizations haven’t pulled them anyway!

Thanks Bill, it’s overwhelming but today at least brothers & I are on the same page so hopefully we can make it easy as possible on family elder.

Put clean sheets on the bed. There is NOTHING the cats enjoy more than running around tangling sheets & blankets before I can get things tucked in 😼

his heels. Eldest brother thinks we can get this all done & house for sale before 2026. (I live closest at 350 miles). Elder just wants to die there so who knows how this is going to play out. So I’ll be in WTX frequently to pack that place up! Will be harder emotionally than physically, I think 2/2
