 The "No Kings" rally I attended was full of peaceful, fun-loving and like-minded people. The only Communists, Marxists and Antifa people I was aware of were in the nightmares of some Republicans. There was a small counter protest by Trump supporters who had a better sound system than ours, but we persevered.  There were about 1,500 people at our rally. They had 15, including someone in a George Washington costume. I think George was rolling over. The rally in pictures.

  Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.   9 times a vote, 9 times failed. Congress needs to end this and get back to work. When did we stop being the UNITED states and become the slop buckets of this two-party representation system? Ok, I'm better now. I've attended "No Kings" protests and will be at one this Saturday.  Gee, you may ask, where has she been? Well, I've been here and there doing this and that. 😁 I've vacationed twice this year; in the spring to Oklahoma and Texas and just came back from Idaho and Oregon. We've got 5 or 6 states to complete the map! DH is grumbling and I don't blame him. More below. This was the Oklahoma City National Memorial site. The museum was one of the best we've seen.  In Texas we visited the GW Bush Presidential Library. Personally, I think I should have been seated behind the Resolute Desk replica, but not surprisingly, the docent asked DH to sit, not me. You...
 You get a twofer. I went to a concert tonight with DD2. We both love jazz. This particular concert was awesome. It featured the Béla Fleck, Edmar Castañeda, Antonio Sánchez Trio. Banjo, harp and drums.  Check it out: Béla Fleck, Edmar Castañeda, Antonio Sánchez Trio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZr0eoSu8xE Bela Fleck Rhapsody in Blue at the Grammys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvlnl9X0zik

 Well.. I do have two photos. I think I've been spending a lot of time living the moments that feel wonderful and not capturing them, as they feel routine. Make sense? I also think using my phone is great for those candid shots, but when I have my camera, it feels more intentional to take pictures. Maybe I should start lugging around thing I can't fit in my pocket.  I don't even have Christmas day photos this year! I have one lonely one of my completed tree that I sent to DD2 as a joke; she sent her photo back of her naked tree. As for the kids, they engage me so much that pictures are forgotten...except when Little Miss takes over Mom's phone and texts me selfies. I will NOT post the ones I send her, LOL! My honey got me flowers for our 47th. The colors in the picture are off, they have a bit of a whiter interior and more dark purple than what appears brown. Two weeks and they still look good! Little Miss is the drummer in the hot pink jacket.  There you go!
