Don is being a responsible citizen and watching the president speak. I, on the other hand, have my hearing aids turned off and am looking at some of the pictures I took at the Wildflower Center today …
along with these pictures of the library that Parker and Ellis created in their bedroom by overturning a chair to house a checkout station and return bin …
I even got my own library card, complete with QR code …
These are the things that give me joy.
I'm so with you and the youngins!
ReplyDeleteWe do have fun!
DeleteOh I love the Library and the card! We turned on the TV and they were playing it LIVE here!!! - we quickly moved on, I can barely bear to look at, let alone listen to, him.
ReplyDeleteHis voice makes me cringe right down to my toes
DeleteHello Liz, I'm always amazed at what beautiful game ideas the children come up with. Sometimes they have already been lost to us. But we are reminded again by them. Kind regards, Katja
ReplyDeletethey are endlessly creative ... their favorite imaginary games are pirates (where the scuba divers search for treasure) and peace ninjas (where they take on super powers and help with whatever real-world disasters are in the news)
DeleteThanks for sharing. Both the pic mosaic and the kids’ imaginary play give me joy too. I didn’t watch either but I’m awake now, late, reading about some of his outrageous and asinine remarks. ~Dee
ReplyDeleteI confess I followed some of the live commentary that streamed on the New York Times, but in the end I switched over to The Daily Show for some comic relief
DeleteLA - I cant watch the disgusting rubbish that the big orange one spews forth - so like you one just have to focus on the small beautiful things closer to home and family. Go well. B
ReplyDeleteI also avoid using his name as much as possible ... a friend recently posted a meme that said "For the first time in history one can post 'he's an idiot' and 90% of the world will know who you mean"
DeleteI really loved reading when I was a kid. Fond memories of my first library card, weekly visits from the bookmobile, summer reading program. Enjoyed your library photos.
ReplyDeleteas a retired librarian, I am proud to say the girls cobbled that together by themselves ...
DeleteLooking at your Wildflower Center was like re-visiting an old friend. It is a wonderful, giving, learning place so thank you for posting the photos. What joy to see the "library". A library card was my ticket to the world and how lucky you are Nana, to have your very special Parker and Ellis Library card. What book did you check out? This is Marti
ReplyDeleteI checked out Bats at the Beach, which is a very silly story about bats going to the beach at night ... and yes, I remember my first Mineola Public Library card, which was light blue with a metal tab that had my very own number on it ... we were so fortunate to live only two blocks away, so I went by myself for all of my elementary school years
DeleteNo wiser words anywhere. Sending solidarity, but remember to send a few easy-peasy auto- letters to your congressional "reps" that say something like: "refuse to cooperate with the destruction if our country"?🩷😊
ReplyDeleteI do write to my representative and to my senators, all of them Republicans ... and also wrote a thank you note to my Democratic state senator for her able representation of my interests in the Texas legislature, which is currently in session ... I also sent her a peace pin ;)
DeleteThe library, that is amazing! Love that you are at the wildflower center, that can only be healing. I watched about 45 minutes of it. Painful to see so much division.
ReplyDeleteThat's Deb G. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteBest smile of the day 😊 … and I read this morning that Rep Slotkin did a good job with the response from the Democrats … I want to track down a video to see for myself
DeleteOops, she’s now Senator Slotkin!!
