My dog Hannah is so photogenic! She joined me for morning coffee on the back porch.

I just used my 5 Calls app to call my senators & congressman to voice my concern & outrage about a deranged POTUS willing to commit genocide. It didn’t take that long & every voice adds strength.

I'm attending No Kings's event, “🚫 NO KINGS 3 👑🤴🏻 Santa Clarita, CA - Indivisible CA27 | SCV NECESSARY TROUBLE Corner” - sign up now to join me www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Today called for homemade buttermilk biscuits with butter and homemade jam. Did not disappoint!

Time for chin scratches.

#Caturday Callie is undecided about making friends with Hannah. Hannah just wants a playmate.

Too true

Callie loves lounging on the stairs. You have to pay the toll (scratches under her chin) to go up or down. #caturday

The Trump administration has aggressively rolled back efforts to combat human trafficking, leaving traffickers to operate with increased impunity, experts say. Guardian investigation by @aglantz.bsky.social, Bernice Yeung, & Noy Thrupkaew.

I know that It’s caturday, but my cat refuses to grace me with her presence today. Hannah, on the other hand, is happy to celebrate her 10th week being a Federico. She love everything about it, especially the backyard!

Hannah as been a part of our family for 2 weeks now. She has fit right in. She is enjoying the back yard immensely. We really lucked out with her. She has a sweet nature and learns quickly. She is very gentle with both of my parents.

My new little rescue has learned what “walkies” are & what the leash means. It’s adorable Just thought you should know 😉

Even when my Scully was old and had a bum knee, she still wanted her walkies.

Happy Father's day to the best of Dads. So many great memories. I was blessed to have you as my father. I hope you enjoy your day (and @#%$ dementia)! ❤️❤️❤️

My fuzzy, funny, goofy girl crossed the Rainbow Bridge today and I am heartbroken 💔

Wordle 1,440 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Don’t know how I went from 2 to 3. Lucky guess!

Callie doesn’t think so. She’s always been a contrarian. #caturday

My mother loves to garden. Spring has spring. Her garden is gorgeous!

Amazing talent!

Life is crazy. It's good to remember the things I am grateful for. I am extremely grateful for all of my pets. They have been a comfort & joy. I haven't gone a day in my life w/o a pet by my side. Cinnamon, Stormy & Callie-- best of cats. Spike, Bogie, Wolfie, Lucy, Sparky & Scully-- best of dogs!

I have been crafting in order to stay away from the news, doomscrolling, and other soul quenching activities. Eventually, I’ll rested and ready for the fray again. But not today.

Hey @lisayee.bsky.social two of your books are on Reed’s Top Ten Books (most check outs) this semester!

First day back at school & had to evacuate for and earthquake. Always have my umbrella ready as I don’t like direct sunlight! What a way to start the 2024-2025 school year.

Grateful for a week in Kauai reading (6 books), swimming in the ocean, lounging, drinking Hennessy, watching a mama seal w/her newborn, & decompressing from a difficult school year. Glad to have a friend who is cool w/doing nothing in paradise. Finally ready to contemplate the 24-25 school year.

Told Scully no walkies til dusk due to heat & smoke. But NO! She decided to take herself on a walk (saw the door was open & booked it). Grabbed the leash & raced after her on my bare feet (hate being barefoot). Did the walk in the heat & I got stung by a 🐝 on my big toe! Had strange Benadryl dreams!

I took this photo when I was in France. I couldn't figure out why a group of people were staring at a tree trunk. This cicada (I think) did a great job of camouflaging with the tree. #invertefest

Callie decided to chill with me for awhile. She’s better than a space heater!

I’ve been in bed since Wednesday with a cold/exhaustion (not COVID). Today I’m at about 50% and I need to finish up all the house chores and get ready for 2nd semester that starts tomorrow. Plus the dog REALLY WANTS A WALK after several days housebound. Lord give my strength!

Fascinating & horrifying all at once.

This crazy girl likes to follow a set schedule. For 2 nights I haven’t been home by 6:00 to walk her. Tonight she ran out of the house and took off freaking mom and dad out. Mom called in a panic. I told her to check my usual route. Yes, Scully was taking herself on her walk. Made it home safe.

Today is the first Sunday of Advent, so it's time to listen to @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com read A Christmas Carol. I love this holiday tradition :) If you haven't heard this version, you're in for a treat!

Teaching my very tall nephews how to make tamales 🫔

@rainbowrowell.bsky.social Thank you for the Bluesky invitation. This week has been much brighter. So glad to be a part of a functional reading/writing/library community again. Being able to delete my account at that other place did wonders for my mental health! Happy Thanksgiving to y& yours! ❤️

The end of my student teaching (1993) & this current school year (2023). My before & after if you will. I ❤️my school! And I ❤️ teaching English & being librarian!
