Good morning! When I got up this morning I did my usual routine and marched down the stairs to the kitchen to prepare my cup of coffee. Some mornings it is from the espresso machine, which is quick. Other mornings it’s a pour over, so I am at the kitchen window with the hummingbird feederContinue reading “June 7, 2020”

What a week it has been. One that will probably go down in the history books as a stain on our U.S. Constitution, the foundation of our Federal Government. The purpose of our Federal Government, as found in the Preamble of the Constitution, is to “establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense,Continue reading “June 6, 2020”

Does it bother you at all that this current administration thinks the entire country is frigging stupid? I’m going to be nice and won’t speak about Trump supporters, but I will speak about those of us who are free and independent thinkers gathering information and knowledge from a number of sources, not from just oneContinue reading “June 4, 2020”

I took a break from writing a post yesterday, but I’m baaaaack. We’ll start today’s ramble with a definition from dictionary.com. Civil war definition, a war between political factions or regions within the same country. As I mentioned before, it looks like this is where we are headed as the divisiveness builds each day. We haveContinue reading “May 28, 2020”

This Memorial Day weekend caused me to do some thinking about the effects of war and what it does to a country and it’s citizens, not just from the loss of life, but what it does to communities and family, the economy, the psychological toll, the loss of humanity. But what I most thought aboutContinue reading “May 26, 2020”

I know Memorial Day is a day to honor those armed forces members who gave their life defending our country and Veteran’s Day is to honor all veterans, but I want to give a shout out today to the young female sailor and her colleagues who helped thwart Thursday morning’s attempted attack at the navalContinue reading “May 25, 2020”

At last, a nice sunny day up here on the mountain after a week of pouring down rain and temperatures not getting above 50 degrees. It would be a great day to go golfing — so he did. Now, I’m not getting my panties all in a wad because he is working hard, after all,Continue reading “May 24, 2020”
