Merry Christmas from Florida!

Here it is

At home Christmas dinner before travel

Moved mil into new apartment at senior community last week. Sadly, her companion, Sugar, the devil we loved, has left this world bc of an obstruction in her intestine. Prayers for my mil. She is so sad. 😢

Picture before we embarked on our year long backpacking trip around the world in 2001. Sold our house and at 29 and 33, off we went! Lived out of those backpacks for a year!!!!!

How we roll on birthdays!

Once a year, I bake. Russian tea cakes like I made with my mom growing up. Family loves them. Now back to my regular status as the non baker or cook in the family.

How utterly horrid

Horrid

While we are away, Grace takes good care of Delilah

Got back from florida, had a day home, now in NC for a tournament.

But he has none

Imagine being a Somali American or a Somali immigrant – maybe being a teenager or kid here and you’re from Somalia. And you see the president call your people garbage.

Every day he’s more disgusting than the last

I really love how Mark Kelly is fighting back on all of this

We broke out! They couldn’t find anything majorly wrong and think that the episode just occurred because of potentially the minor ulcer that she has or something else. Yay! She was ready to escape!

Complete craziness

Just visited Mom and she looks really good and sounds great. The nurse is absolutely love her. No make up on at 89 - looks fabulous! and I have to say I really hope I have her genes. More testing to try to figure out what happened. Hoping for some answers and ability to treat/prevent.

Still on plane waiting to take off. We were taxiing but went back to gate bc a woman needed to get off. Not sure why - was crying. Then hate to wait half hour as they had to get her luggage off.

Mom hospital - went via ambulance in the middle of last night - she called 911 after some scary happenings. Called me from hospital. Sounds better today. Drove home from mil and now I’m flying there. Praying obv that it’s not serious. Asked what she needed most - Brush, rave hairspray, lipstick 🙃

A lovely Thanksgiving meal! Good company!

Happy Thanksgiving, my lovely friends!!!!

Dad. 💕💕💕 Gosh, I miss him.

Going through old stuff at mil while helping her get ready to move. Our engagement announcement!

Heartbreaking

DOGE has been doged. A colossal and entirely predictable failure. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Getting to meet and talk to @captmarkkelly.bsky.social was an honor early this month. A true Patriot. A straight shooter. The current president cannot stand him bc he is the complete opposite.

Wag the dog

OK, so I supported the older daughter at her 10K, and a younger at her soccer tournament – loved every minute of both! But, time to get my workout in! My luck when I realize I am only a third of the way through leg day!

First 10 K since coming back from some ankle tendinitis – did it in less than an hour even conservatively running!

Loss and a win at today’s tournament. She was made captain, again. Although her first year at this club, she’s selected as captain often bc of the leadership she shows at practice and on the field. Great last year of club soccer!

Brewery night with just us! But ran into Spanberger fellow volunteers 😊

Christmas card preview

It’s insanity. I’m getting maga comments on my post about this on Facebook.

Worried as we are seeing signs and ice is coming up to our area next - Hampton roads.

been fed his whole life and raised to fight for. i admit that i dont know anything abt taika being a zionist (or really much abt him in general), but i think its unfair to say that jojo rabbit tries to make hitler likable

What’s happening in Charlotte, NC is a travesty. I know it’s happening so many other places, but hearing so much as our states are neighbors.

Older daughter enjoying her sports management grad school as they got a tour before a hockey game 😊

Tie yesterday, loss today. One more tomorrow!

Tournament weekend!

Delilah 😊

Maddening

Trump spent hours with one of the victims. Hours.
