My baby girl with her first steelhead 35 inches, 19 pounds. A native fish so she couldn’t keep it. But love seeing the joy on her face ❤️🎣

This is how I get to spend the evening just before I go to sleep You’re welcome ❤️

Well that duck only lasted one day. Maggie Mae and her carnage 😂

For reference to this text, my 7th graders are learning state approved curriculum currently focused on ancient Middle East cultures, including, but not limited to Hinduism, Muslim merchants and the rise of , Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Sometimes it’s good to ask a question first 🤦‍♀️

Just my baby girl doing what she loves…❤️🎣

I consider myself a well educated woman, and obviously blind as bad as you can tell by my font size, but I am also a huge dork. As you can tell from the text messages I sent to my youngest, who is in Vegas, working a tournament. 😂

Perks of being a teacher.: students with chickens who bring you boxes of fresh eggs ❤️🐓

Argentina’s Dirty War, 1976-1983 was this last week‘s lesson in my history class. If you don’t know about it , read up and tell me you don’t see similarities as to what is our current state of affairs .

My baby is 25 today. 25. How the hell did that go so fast 😩

Setting politics aside for a moment, wrapping birthday gifts with a kitten and a puppy is not always productive. Eleanor Rigby and Maggie Mae think they’re helping and I don’t have the heart to tell them that they are not . 😂

The hardest part about being a mom of a daughter? When they have a broken heart. You can’t fix it like a scratch on the knee when they were little. Feeling helpless is a pain all of its own 💔

Maggie Mae wore herself out at the dog park ❤️. Either that or she’s sad that the Epstein files haven’t been released…

Eleanor Rigby is my little work from home helper ❤️

Today my inner bully was having fisticuffs with my inner bad ass self. Unfortunately, the bully was winning. It wasn’t a great day.🥲

Happy 1970 Halloween from my brother and me. I’m still a bit of a princess 😂🎃

Lil Tracey circa 1970. Gotta love my parents sofa 😂

Getting my oil changed and they want to charge me $70 for a cabin filter that costs $13 online🤦‍♀️

Portland Oregon knows how to do their signs 😂

Portland, Oregon no kings day ❤️🐸

Well, here I am again in downtown war ravaged Portland, Oregon 😂

More shenanigans from my beautiful city of Portland, Oregon. The ICE building is on the right. That’s the rooftop from where the brilliant (insert dripping sarcasm) Kristi with an “I“ reported the fiery hell that is happening here 😂

Newport, Oregon public library newest mural The stairway of band books. I must go see this in person! ❤️❤️

Yes, this is Portland, Oregon Frightening, no? FU Kristi Noem

Greetings from the non-war torn Portland, Oregon😂. Sharing this that a friend posted today. The government is lying to the world. Shocking, I know 😂

This Portland protester was tear-gassed and pelted with rubber bullets. And before someone says “they just shouldn’t be there“ remember that the constitution says you can peacefully protest. And it never said you couldn’t wear frog suit 😂

Let me make this perfectly clear. Portland, my city, is under NO threat. There is maybe a couple dozen people at the ICE building & today they were there doing the electric slide. We don’t need or want troops, and all that’s going to happen if they come is someone is going to get hurt.

And now for something completely different. Maggie Mae decided that she was not happy that I not let her into my office while I was working. Instead, she punished me by ripping her mattress out of her kennel and chewing it up. That will teach me 😂😂

Portland, Oregon update number two. September 29th I took these pictures this morning in the heart of downtown Portland No warfare, no protests, extremely quiet and people just going about their business.

Portland, Oregon update. My oldest was just downtown. Said there’s a military helicopter flying around the ice building. There was one protester in a banana suit. She saw a family with a baby walking their dog and people having dinner . Excellent use of our taxpayer dollars from the orange idiot

I just want it on record that from somebody who lives in Portland, there is nothing going on here. The streets are quiet, families are walking around, people are eating dinner. Trump‘s threats are meaningless to town that is calm and peaceful

No Nobel Prize for Donny, ever. It appears renaming the Department of Defence to the Department of War doesn't align with their criteria of peace. F-Off DJT!

Yeah, okay. I have a weird relationship with socks…

It’s borrowed, and I may have snort laughed when I saw it 😂

😂

It’s borrowed but too good not to share 😂

So… apparently the rapture is tomorrow and I have nothing to wear 😂

My life mission is to always spread kindness The last thing I tell my students before they leave my class is be kind to others, but especially be kind to yourself My daily goal is to compliment at least one person, even if it’s a stranger Kindness costs nothing, and can heal the most wounded soul.

I ask myself this question a least 100 times a day.

I’m only one person, but together our voices can speak volumes. Took a small step today by canceling Disney.

This is what a president should be. A leader with a sense of humor. Oh, and a fucking grown up unlike the 🍑 🤡

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

It’s kind of hard to keep talking about keeping hope alive to your 24 year-old daughter (who is heavily involved in politics), when your country is sliding into fascism. 😩.

The 60th birthday gift I received from my brother on Saturday It’s perfect 😂

I am 60 today Can’t believe I have to say that My birthday wish is always the same Please say something kind and or complement a stranger today Play your favorite song as loud as you can, and sing at the top of your lungs. The world is cruel, so be kind That’s my grown-up birthday wish ❤️

So…. Charlie Kirk….

A cherished photo This is my great aunt Dorothy, my grandmother’s sister who was an integral part in my life and my love for reading. And yes, that is the poet Robert Frost sitting with her and her college students. I’m guessing in the late 50s early 60s.

So the orange moron says that Portland is on fire. Well here I am in downtown Portland today. Yes, it’s a obviously a shit show.😂😂
