Lots Of Fala

and some lalala too

First fire in fireplace

Paying attention? The deer changed

What normally is a one day decorating 

affair is dragging out,

due to "issues" but I am determined.

Photos of living room tree etc coming 

in a few days. All the packages are wrapped

and stockings hung but tree is not decorated

but it is up.

Of course I was due for another 

Urgent Care run on Saturday.

Another bronchial infection. I've been so careful.

Only went into crowds one day last weekend

with pal Sue for our annual IKEA day.

She reminded me I became ill last year 

right after IKEA day.

Perhaps I will only go to IKEA in summertime?

Michigan blueberry maple streusel toast

New favorite mug and butter keeper.

comfort food

Went with some lighter fare for kitchen and  

laundry hall this year. Cheerful

Yep, wreath is hanging crooked. 

Original hanger was put on improperly,

(on list to fix).

Gluttony and Gobble

I'll say it again, I love them so much!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I will spare you my opinion on how $#@^&%

up this holiday is as we are celebrating a lie;

so "Happy Get Together" with your families 

and let the political and religious fall out begin,

and maybe just maybe, share with the young ones the truth 

about the native americans and pilgrims,

as in school they still teach the lies and make

 cute pilgrim hats.

Have the kids pull out their phones and google it

and then share with the adults,

many of whom won't know the story either. 

Ready Set Gluttony 

It's Beginning

I was talking to several friends yesterday 

and we were all beginning to decorate, 

much earlier than usual.

My arm chair psychology?

We all need the happy.

We desperately need to immerse ourselves

in the celebration of peace and love

instead of the anger, hatred and despair

surrounding us due to one evil demagogue,

bathed in bigoted stupidity,

who thumbs up his best buddy,

 an assassin, who is intent on 

bringing down our democracy.

Bring on the trees, the holly

 the cookies, stockings,

and twinkle lights. 

Surround us with families and friends we love.

Share the carols, the hymns and 

shout it from the rooftops

that we yearn for peace, equality, kindness and love.

COLD AND HARD

VOTE

Not voting while you have the freedom to do so

is an unforgivable act as far as I'm concerned. 

 Millions have died and continue to die  

for the right to be free and to be free from persecution. 

Millions in the world right now

yearn to vote, to choose futures for their children.

This caravan that 45 

is fear-mongering contains just such folks.

Common sense says people who are walking 

thousands of miles and have left everything behind

 and are carrying their children on their backs

 are desperately yearning

for freedom and a safe place to be.

Cold Hard facts.

We may not have most of our freedoms

for very much longer. 

Do not for one second think it cannot

happen here, the groundwork has been in the 

works for decades and this insane 45

is allowing it into the core of government

 and we need to elect people 

who will PROTECT 

and ensure the continuation of our founding

fathers values that have made this democracy work.

A Night At The Garden

It's short about 7 minutes

Notice George Washington, 

the American flag hanging with the NAZI flag

young boys dancing gleefully

as a protester is beaten and stripped, 

attacking the free press...

Look and sound familiar?

From the Smithsonian about the film:

"It really illustrated that the tactics of demagogues have been the same throughout the ages. They attack the press, using sarcasm and humor. They tell their followers that they are the true Americans (or Germans or Spartans or…). And they encourage their followers to “take their country back” from whatever minority group has ruined it.”

I am resisting

 I am scared shitless

for my kids and yours.
