Having been a long-time patron of the John F Kennedy Center of the Performing Arts, I am heartbroken by the desecration and vandalism (for that is what it is) happening now. "A society that forgets arts risks losing its soul."
Thank you for speaking up, Mr. Palermo!

The Buddhist monks assembling in front of the National United Methodist Church in Washington, DC
The Buddhist months with faith leaders from all religions in front of Washington National Cathedral in Washington, DC
My friend and I in front of the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, DC, after listening to the Venerable Bhikkhu Pannakara.
What a beautiful and sacred day walking with the Buddhist #monks for #peace. Start each morning with "Today will be my peaceful day."

Norwegian red hat with braided tassel and the word "Freedom!" in morse code (K-P) around the hat.
Finished the #Norwegian #resistance #hat (using leftover Christmas stash🤣). In the middle of the hat, is the word "Freedom!" in morse code (knits and purls).

I started one today too! #melttheICE #redhatprotest
Just finished reading "The #Fabric of #Civilization: How #Textiles Made The World" by Virginia Postrel. Amazing story of how #fiber is woven through advancements in #culture, #industry, #math, #science, #politics, #art, #technology, #economics, #banking, and much more. Highly recommend!

Keeping him near me ... the top ring has my beloved's fingerprint etched around the band. It arrived the night before Thanksgiving although the delivery notice said it wouldn't be until Friday. I like to believe that he helped get it to me early.

My beloved Carl gained his wings on 8/24/25. He is now whole and healed and I am broken. Grieving for him is so much harder than caring for him. I'm so lucky to have found #truelove. We held hands every day since our wedding day.

A senior couple dressed for a luau. The woman is wearing a sherbet colored maxi-dress and a blue lei. The man is wearing shorts and an island shirt with a pink and yellow lei.
We enjoyed a summer luau at our local #seniorcenter. My hubby even wanted to #dance. Rumbas, mocktails, and island music -- fun day!!

Six #IRS Commissioners in less than 7 months; several who stood in the gap to #protectdata. Staffing down 25% due to #DOGE. Appreciate the leaders leading through this #crisis. How to effectively fund the govt when our financial agency breaks?!

The worst part of being a family #caregiver is the feeling that you're all alone, and no one understands.
But you're not alone, and the only ones who don't understand are the ones who have never experienced it themselves.
It's time to make ourselves heard.

Visited one of our favorite farms today to see their fields of #zinnias and #sunflowers. Total #serenity!

Lovely 💕
Some of my favorite memories -- pile in the car, drive up the canyon and around the dam, look for deer, stop for ice cream, watch the sunset. 🌄 Thanks for sharing.
