What I like (in no particular order): good food, funny stuff, all things cozy, my husband, my family, my dog, movies, music, books, sports, gardening, and nature. Ex-Texan living in the mountains of NE New Mexico. Gracefully aging Meemaw. 💙🌶️🏔️
Stay focused. Do NOT get distracted by anything. (Side note: I have ADD so I understand getting distracted). Make a plan to vote. Have a backup plan. We are proud Americans who do not take our privileges of freedom lightly. We fight for our rights, and respect those who fought before us. 🇺🇸 ❤️

Through an innovative program, parents in Senegal had easy access to a therapeutic food that's a boon for malnourished kids. Now there are shortages. Health specialists say U.S. aid cuts are to blame. n.pr/4gjSVbf
A plan to get lifesaving food to hungry kids was working well -- until it wasn't

The fox was sporting a tweed jacket, and was seen smoking a pipe. His name is Arthur George McFoxyton, and he’s looking to purchase a ticket to see a smashing show on Broadway.

It reminds me of the year America is also having, and it’s tiring, and emotional, but somehow we manage to continue to fight, and continue to see the good, and the humanity, and stay motivated to take each day on, one step at a time.
Focus on the good, and when you’re going through hell, keep going

He’s been an absolute rock star through it all, battling a needle phobia that cripples him. We’re nearing the midway point of treatments, and the radiation is catching up to him. He’s tired, and it’s getting tough to keep weight on.
I see the good, and have lots of support, but I am so very tired.

Sitting in this hotel room in Santa Fe, thinking about the enormity of this year, and how life has been so much - more than what you’d ever believe you’d be able to handle, but handle it, you do.

My favorite movie of all time. Norah Ephron’s words, and Rob Reiner’s direction were perfection. This Is Spinal Tap, and The Princess Bride round out my top 3.
I’m so tired of this year. Physically and mentally tired.

Hi Bluesky friends, I’m asking for big big prayers, and good thoughts, to go out to this guy. My husband Dennis has stage 4 squamous cell cancer, and is having surgery tomorrow. We are traveling to ABQ today, and then we kick cancers ass. I’ve known him since I was 18, and he’s the best. 🙏🏻❤️

Hi Bluesky, I’m going to vent. I’m angry. I’m frustrated. I’m exhausted. My husband has stage 4 squamous cell cancer in his jaw, and he’s going to have his jaw removed, then 6 weeks of radiation, then intense reconstructive surgery. I’m scared, and I just want it all to go away. Please pray for

Do you have all your ducks in a row?
I’m so lucky to live in a place filled with natural beauty. It helps in times of confusion, sadness, anxiety, etc. It helps keep perspective that we live in a big, beautiful world that needs our kindness. Love will always be greater than hate.

Absolutely shitty personal news this am. Asking for prayers to be lifted for my dearest husband. He’s been my life since I was 18 years old. Comforted knowing we aren’t alone. He can beat this just with his intellect and dark sense of humor. Also, it’s hard having to be positive all the time. Hope 🙏🏻

I got a new haircut a few days ago (bangs! So gray!), and I saw myself in a mirror wearing reading glasses. I couldn’t *not* see myself, and think this really wasn’t the look I was going for… (party on, Garth) 😬🫤🎸
