I love musical theater, books, food, and family (not necessarily in that order).

Some days, it seems like the world is so divided that we will never find our way back to each other. In 2020, in the midst of our physical separation, people from all over the world came #together to make beautiful music. There is #hope.

My husband read a little further and thinks it was the “jellyfish” effect. Very cool!

On Oct 15, 1990, Mikhail Gorbachev won the #NobelPeacePrize. He said, “Today, peace means the ascent from simple coexistence to co-operation and common creativity among countries and nations. Peace is movement towards globality and universality of civilisation.” #Peace #unity

Thanks for the reply! I was thinking we were too far away up here in St. Augustine. We are able to see launches from Cape Canaveral. My husband thought I might have caught it coming across the Gulf. I’ll tell him he was right. ☺️

The sky to the south (from NE Florida) had this image in flight. It was at 7:33pm EST, just after the launch of #Starship. Could we see it all the way up here? Or, was this an #alien craft? #nightsky #mysteries

Today (a couple of days late), I am remembering the great #BobSchiller (11/18/1918-10/10/2017) who was once the last surviving writer for the #ILoveLucy show. My daughter loved it and wrote to him. He so kindly responded.

I love the new breakdown of #Ancestry DNA. My full sister and I have these tiny amounts of varying nationalities. #Genealogy and #DNA are the best even if they don’t 100% agree. #family

Director Marlett of the Sedgwick County Zoo “Apes and Man” exhibit had #JaneGoodall sign Gary Larson’s #FarSide cartoon. She was awesome!

To her 2007 H. Clinton endorsemt, I wrote her. Her response:
“Thank you so much for writing these encouraging words today. I am so pleased. We face many life and death issues in this country and in the world. And I am confident that Americans care; and Americans will work together for solutions.”

#YomKippur, may all find peace & love.
“To those I have wronged, I ask for forgiveness.”
“To those I may have helped, I wish I had done more."
“To those I neglected to help, I ask for understanding."
“To those who helped me, I thank you with all my heart.”
“May you be sealed in the book of life."

Totally my Dad. Though, he also thought my mom was raised in a barn. He once told me he had to close his eyes to her messiness or he would go insane. 🤣

This is a true classic. Enjoy!

I just listened to some of Charlotte’s songs. “Talk You Down” was my favorite. I would say agreed!

What is happening in exchange for the “reduction in crime”? For federal troops to be coming into cities, something is very wrong. Americans deserve better.

My head is buried in a new book by fellow BlueSky user @robgotobed.bsky.social! I just received my new book and I’m excited to laugh out loud. #booksky 💙📚

It’s a hot day today but @redsox.com fans and this little guy are walking the trails. #nature

I said it was because I support free speech.

Out with the Old Fashioned would be my choice but I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them.

This is hilarious. Even the Dutch are way ahead of us in seeing how bad things are in the United States with Donald Trump running amok and corporations capitulating to fascism.

But, then again, the Netherlands has experience with being taken over by fascists.
