Yes, it is, Linda. About 10 minutes from home. I gave a giclee copy to the store owner. He’s hung it on the wall with a photo of John Wayne and other pictures.

@blueskyartshow.bsky.social . I don’t know if this painting of mine qualifies for today’s #Narrow theme, but that bridge could be wider.

Since it is Juneteenth, I will share a lil something...

My ancestors were slaves in Texas & were freed on June 19, 1865. They came together to meet with other ex-slaves & formed the Limestone County 19th of June Organization. They bought 30 acres of land on Lake Mexia.

Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines to LA to suppress protesters against ICE’s brutal assault on immigrant garment workers.

Trump threatens to take away Elon’s government contracts

The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!

We are all confused about IHSS overtime proposal. Is it 40 hrs. per week + a max of 50 hours overtime/travel as written OR 50 total hours per week only being allowed includ. reg. hrs, overtime/travel which would be a devastating income drop to in home/parent providers? @jasonsisney.bsky.social
