That gigantic machine is a self-propelled peanut picker (just learned this myself). And that sweet white dog is Paxton, a rescue dog they found in a field - it now rides shotgun with Carey, a Georgia peanut farmer.

Love these people. They remind me every day there’s goodness in the world.

View of the distant Rockies, including Mount Evans, Grays and Torreys Peaks, & James Peak (I think all are on the Continental Divide). Pic taken from I70, heading west this morning for work in the mountains - beautiful fall day 🍁🍂

I’m concerned for the protestors on Oct 18. Including who the T-administration may plant to appear as protestors within their midst. (I’m still recovering from surgery, can’t march, but doing what I can to support.)

Photo of Diane Keaton and her quote “Humor helps us get through life with a modicum of grace. It offers one of the few benign ways of coping with the absurdity of it all"

Same old, same old responses. “First I heard of it” “I haven’t read it” “I’ll look at it, get back to you” on and on...

When Baby Boom came out, can’t tell you how many people told me I reminded them of Diane Keaton in that movie. I was surprised and so flattered, have always loved her.

Grandson Aurele got 3-week checkup & he’s doing great ❤️ Pic of son & Aurele.

Hub: “When baby was in Neonatal ICU [Jordan] what language did you & doctors speak?” (Son & wife speak French, English, Spanish & some Arabic.)

Son: “English. Doctor went to medical school in US.”
