Mimi and Eleanor arrived today about 4.
Tim comes tomorrow.
Having our daughter in the house where she became an adult is amazing!
Having her daughter her is amazing too!
Life is good.
Life is so very, very good.
We should never forget that.
Never....
Mimi, Tim and Eleanor come tomorrow until Saturday.
That's enough to make me Thankful.
We'll Zoom with Josh and Cathy and their big girls at some point.
Our old friend John will come to dinner.
A small group, but a great one!
I fix the dressing--it's not 'stuffing' since it isn't in the turkey, do the before dinner cheese and snacks, set the table and pour the wine.
Bern does everything else--and beautifully.
I love Thanksgiving...more than Christmas, I think.
All of you--Have a Happy, Happy One!
I don't agree with it. I think it was wrong. I think the judge was too much leaning toward the defendant.
But as the President said, disappointed in the verdict, we must support the justice system.
No one should walk away free after killing two people and wounding another with an illegal gun at 17!
It makes me want to take guns away from everyone!
It makes my skin crawl.
It makes me against the right to bear arms, which was, at the time the Constitution was written, meant arms to defend the country from foreign aggressors, not to shoot people on the streets of Kenosha.
Will we ever come to our senses and drastically limit guns?
Probably never.
But we should.
We really should.
This trial proves that explicitly.
Tonight (or early tomorrow morning) there's going to be a total eclipse of the moon.
In CT it will be from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. And it will be raining.
Going to miss something that doesn't happen very often.
Oh, well.
Going to sleep and (hopefully) have good dreams.
Maybe next time.
When I'll be several hundred years old.
We'll see....
The House of Representatives censured Rep. Gosare today for his video of him killing AOC and attacking the President.
Only two republicans voted for the censure.
The two who are on the Jan. 6 committee.
What is going on that one party in our democracy can choose not punish someone who showed a video of him killing another member of the House? And attacking the President?
How F***ing divided can we be as a nation?
It is really frightening to be so divided.
Be scared, beloved!
Be very, very scared!
And, more importantly, speak out and do something....
It's November in Connecticut and the sound of leaf-blowers resounds through the land.
For the most part, Bern doesn't bag our leaves.
She cuts them up with her grass cutter and lets them be the fertilizer for next year's grass.
It seems to work.
But neighbors all around us keep getting the leaves off their lawns.
Who knows who's right?
There were some tornadoes in CT on Saturday. One of them in Cheshire.
Driving around town I have been amazed at the tree damage.
First time since 1950, when I was three in Anawalt, West Virginia.
Come on Climate Change Deniers and you Vaccine Deniers.
Smarten up.
Look around you.
Change your minds--it can be done!
We had a violent rainstorm this afternoon.
Lots of bright lightening and rolling thunder.
It scared our dog, Brigit.
And wind, wind, wind.
Cable went our for a while.
As did internet.
Lights flickered.
With daylight savings time over, it was also very dark.
A bit scary.
And a bit exciting.
