Her…My Granddog Storm
Isn’t she beautiful?
Isn’t she beautiful?
Let me begin with explaining the things I have not done…I have not broken the law, participated in an insurrection (or praised those who did), lied, avoided paying taxes, violated any oath I have taken, demeaned any group solely because of their ethnicity, politics, disability, gender, or religion, or taken away the hard-fought freedoms of […]
My life is just chugging along. I retired a couple of years ago and I’ve been checking off my bucket list. This blog was one of them…well kind of. I really wanted to do a podcast cast with my sisters and my daughter, but everyone’s life is so just so busy. So, I decided, rather than wait until they […]

I honestly believe most people never entertain the thought of paying for a trip to the moon. Most of us think about exploring the planet we currently occupy…or remodeling our kitchen. I would pay far less to see the moon than I would to visit countries all over the world. I would actually pay less […]
The newly elected Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) is second in line to the presidency of the United States. Women, fathers, grandparents, this is what Republican members of the House of Representatives just unanimously did to our country. For those of you who didn’t know, abortion rights for you may have been about […]
On January 6, 2021, following the defeat of U.S. president Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, a crowd of his supporters attacked the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. The crowd sought to keep Trump in power by preventing a joint session of Congress from counting the Electoral College votes to formalize the […]
