Ain’t this the truth! We all know the truth: More connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis, the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. Black Panther, “Black Panther” We are thankful for those who build bridges or at least are attempting to as they see how foolish are the barrier-builders, ie, or government. So thankful for...

(I hope mama appreciates that where I…watered…things are growing!) 🌺 Well, actually it’s mama who is feeling that she has a treat, from getting her eyeballs back in focus, haha.

This is my ‘take over mama’s blog’ pose. She’ll be back on Sunday but until then, it’s yours truly.

I turned upside down with applauding the protests! Bravo, America. Yesterday, the streets of our beloved country, and other countries, were full of calm and positive protests.

Jump… jump… See! Right back where I started. Up here there is no gravity so I can jump around in fun poses whenever I wish!

Well, wordless is what this article left mama and papa. Are we ALL out of our minds? In any other time in our history, this criminal/murderer, yes, murderer, would be behind bars. And it is very interesting to discover that here in Rome, many we have spoken with have no idea about the ICE illegal actions against immigrants and others who have NO criminal...

I could have told mama those shoes were multi-colored! But she didn’t ask… ***** WOW, mama just started to put on her shoes to see the eye docs for a follow up and squeaked (which means teary in our lingo) to papa that she didn’t know they (the shoes, not the eye docs) had so many colors!!! She thought they were sort of greyish…and...
