Happy Birthday! 🎈

Hi Gill, I'm Gin.

Kade Anderson just made himself an LSU baseball legend.

"To me, Juneteenth is both a celebration and a call to action."

We've asked a few of our players what Juneteenth means to them, and you'll hear from them throughout the day. We start off with our captain, Rashid Nuhu.

Love you too! 🥰

Iona Abbey. The image shows an abbey with sea in the background. The abbey church is seen end-on on the right and other buildings are to its left. There is mown grass with paths in the foreground and an outcrop of rock on the lower left of the frame. The scene is in sunlight.

There was a time when she wanted kindness, empathy and understanding for her situation. I guess it's kindness and care for me but not for thee.

Beautiful colors, such pretty work. Enjoy your day. 🌻

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil.

No wonder trumpy picked him. Same brain.

Happy to hear therapy is helping. xx

This is a wonderful reference if you want to stitch some antique patterns.

Also there are many good, free alphabets, which is a resource not to be taken lightly

'O the month of May, the merry month of May,
So frolic, so gay, and so green, so green, so green!

Sweet Peg, thou shalt be my summer's queen!'
