Hello friends and happy Sunday! Here is our first Quaker message for the year, "Letting Love Lead." wp.me/p8W5M7-Ol

This is my grandkitty Maeby. She's been here with my granddaughter for winter break but heads home to Toronto tomorrow. She is a very happy girl and has been through a lot. She has only three legs because she was shot when she was a stray. But her spirit is mighty! And she chirp-purrs. I ❤️ that. 💕🥰

It looks like Gloria was so exhausted she just barely made it to the couch and then collapsed. 😂

Interesting! I have synesthesia (letters and words have colors for me, and colors have qualities) but I'd never heard of time-space synesthesia. Fascinating! Life is so beautifully and boundlessly creative. 🥰 theconversation.com/how-my-time-...

Gloria's peace is contagious. 💕

Happy New Year from Olive and Gloria, who say, "So far, so good" on this peaceful first day morning. Wishing us all peace, loving connection, and the leading of the good and true and kind this year. 🥰🙏

😂💕

I just watched this wonderful interview, filmed in October. Jane Goodall is such a remarkable soul. 🙏💕 #hero #grateful youtu.be/8c2Aw_zKJO0

Happy last Sunday of 2025! Here's to ending well and beginning with blessing. 🥰 Our Quaker message from this morning: spacebetweenwordsweb.wordpress.com/2025/12/28/e...

😂

My daughter-in-law made Muddy Snowballs for us for Christmas and omigosh I would trade every cookie I made this year for just one more of these! 🥰🎅🤶⛄ Recipe is in the comments. They are great!

Such a pretty girl, staying close to her mom while the house is full of loud and laughing people. 😂

Either people have started day drinking already or they've let out all the people who don't know how roundabouts work. Just saw two near misses! Lots of honking! (Not from or at me 🤣) Merry Christmas! 🎄

Good girl, Gloria. Cousin Rocky gets the comfiest spot. 🥰 #Christmassharing

A boy and his dog. My son, daughter-in-law, and granddog Rocky arrived from Charleston this afternoon; they started driving at 2am (you can do that when you're young). He was determined to stay awake til 9pm and he almost made it. 🥰

🙏

Greetings, friends, and happy Sunday! I hope it's lovely where you are. Sunny and 37 here...I'll take it! Sharing our Quaker message from this morning, "A Living Hope." 🥰 wp.me/p8W5M7-Od

I made my grandma's date bars tonight. No butter in this recipe. At all. How? But they are light and sweet and good with coffee. And I just love seeing her handwriting again. 🥰

Gloria's tuckered after all those naps today. 😂

Hello, beautiful. 💕

After snow yesterday, the temp this morning is up to 0! That's progress, we started at -2. The girls have the right idea. Lazy, cozy Sunday. 🥰

Just found this poem I wrote back in 1998. Oh the angst of (relative) youth. I do like it, though. ☺️

New discovery: Gloria loves fortune cookies. Good news, Gloria! "There is a prospect of a thrilling time ahead for you." 🥰

We have a new chaplain on our team and he is from South Korea. A beautiful gentle soul. 💕 He taught us at breakfast this morning that in Korea, each day has its energy. Monday is moon day, Tuesday is fire day, Wednesday is water day...

Gloria's contentment is contagious. 🥰

Hello, friends, and happy Sunday. 😊 I'm sharing our Quaker message from this morning, "Shine On." wp.me/p8W5M7-O2

There should be a warning label on washable wool blankets for us city kids: "If you choose to wash this blanket, your house will smell like wet sheep." 😂

A moment of zen. Abundant life, goodness, harmony, and balance everywhere you look. From the Intercoastal Waterway earlier today. 🥰

Just getting back from an Eco tour out to Capers Island. So beautiful. Dolphins swimming on both sides of the boat, white pelicans, blue crabs, oysters and more. Plus hours to explore. Heaven. #grateful

My 16-month-old granddaughter on the video call just now: "Nana, nana, nana!" My heart melts and tears come to my eyes. "That's her new word," my son says. "She loves bananas." 😅

Outside an art gallery in Charleston. Seems like a good policy. 🥰

An interesting and inclusive read. 👍

Good morning! Sharing an ocean-inspired poem. 🥰

Walking off the carbs on Sullivan Island Beach. 🥰 Happy Thanksgiving!

Pies are made! The butterscotch is square because we only had one pie plate. 😂 Happy Thanksgiving! 💕

This Indiana girl doesn't get to see, hear, feel, smell the ocean often. 💕 #grateful

My grandson Rocky relaxing on his smiley face pillow, listening to his dad. 🥰

In Charleston, home of golden marshes (and my youngest son and daughter-in-law and granddog Rocky). 🥰

12yo Olive has discovered her joy, thanks to Gloria's new toy fish. 😂💕

I gave Olive a tiny Booda Bear and she loves him so much she didn't even want to put him down long enough to eat dinner. So he sat in her bowl. 😂 Her love is intense and tortuous; she growls if we look too long at the bear, like we might be plotting to take him. 💕😄

Greetings on a perfect sunny day in central Indiana. I'm sharing our Quaker message from this morning, "Age Spots and Character Lines." 😊 wp.me/p8W5M7-NW

The grace of a sunny spot. 🥰

Wow, the last words (from a quote by Benjamin Rush) gave me chills: "The revolution is not over." What a great way to spend evenings this week! Thank you @pbs.org and @kenlburns.bsky.social. #americanrevolution

Played this for my baby granddaughter while she is eating lunch and 🥹💕 youtu.be/v8enlTBXR5Y

Quakers! #americanrevolution

🤣

This is the best follow I've found in a long time. Hilarious, creative, and good; a great antidote to all that's not. 🥰

I'm giving away two signed copies of my (recently republished) book 21st-Century Yokel, with two postcards of this fab otters linocut by my mum, Jo. Just repost this & pop a comment below to enter. You might like it if you like: Walking Wildlife Folklore Bees Ghosts The Sea Social history Badgers

Abigail Adams was a boss. #womensrights #americanrevolution

Thomas Paine, son of a Quaker! Well I'll be. (No this isn't a drinking game...find a Quaker, take a drink 😂) #hatm #americanrevolution www.britannica.com/topic/Common...
