We are finally getting some color!

He needs to be arrested and put in jail. Pronto. Waiting for Congress to impeach him (he's already been impeached TWICE) doesn't work. He has no respect for the law; therefore, he has no qualms about breaking it. He needs to be stopped.

Joe Biden. I love this man. I honor this man. He gave 50 years of political life to us to help make our lives better. I do not understand why certain journalists and tv networks are attacking him.

Sojourner Truth (1797-1883), abolitionist, women's rights advocate, who chose to be photographed with her knitting. As an enslaved person, she had knitted/spun endlessly and when free later in life, she taught knitting to former enslaved women aiding self-sufficiency #womensart

He is so right.

This lady knows the law and does her homework.

Christmas 2024 was beautiful and full of family love, laughter, and joy. Here are the treasures of my own personal Jolabokaflod. Wow. I'm excited about future reading!!!

Love the vocal and sax interpretations.

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.

One more today. This is right in all the ways. The Pointer Sisters performing ‘Yes We Can’ in 1974 with a nice drum solo from Gaylord Birch. This is off their 1973 album, The Pointer Sisters. Enjoy! #soulsky #musicsky #nowplaying #music #soul youtu.be/IzZkjjENj_w?...

My fave music genre is jazz, so it's very heartening to see jazz still thriving through our young people. These 2 are FINE musicians: Emmet Cohen (piano) and Samara Joy (voice),

Big change in my life. After 3 days and nights of living with the dregs of Hurricane Helene, I evacuated to a friend's house in another NC city. I returned to my mountain home yesterday after 7 weeks away. Still no potable water, so it's bottled water and boiling water. But, it's good to be home.

I live in the beautiful mountains of NC. You may have heard that we had a monster hurricane named Helene hit us 7 weeks ago. 1st photo you may have seen because it went viral (not my photo). 2nd photo I took as we drove by the same houses 3 weeks later. We still don't have drinkable water.

As a retired librarian, I think this is an excellent idea!

Great musicians from my state of NC: John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Nina Simone, Roberta Flack. Of course, they needed to follow the Great Migration out of the South in order to be heard. So thankful for them, their strength, and their talent.
