Stellars….
Not sure what your device-of-the-day is, Stella, but it looks like something musical. So here’s some peaceful music by Tim Janis entitled “Dreams of Montenegro.”
Montenegro is east of Italy across the Adriatic Sea.

Good mornin’, kids! It’s Friday Eve and it’s been a busy week trying to fend off the monsters. Here’s everything at your ready. Copper pot, cream and sugar bowl at your ready! Let’s go get ’em!
When we were at the cabin, I had some copper and silver and other rustic items in my collection, pots, pans, coffee pots, most hung from the beams in the kitchen. But I also had an old tea set, and a chocolate pot set similar to this one. For a long time I enjoyed those old, beautiful things so much, and your collection of daily pictures makes me smile. Thank you!
I’ve talked about this with a friend on FB……..the sad part of collecting pieces like in the picture is that so few behind us see the beauty or the connection that we do. There is so much that will be hauled off to the dump or Goodwill once we move on and that makes me sad. Some of these things have been handed down 2-3 generations, and sometimes longer and no one wants them. Glad I can bring a bit of a smile to you. That warms my heart.
This article is a bit long, but I think well worth the time to read. It’s a short review of the whole immunity thing on the legal side. A short primer on how we got to where we are today and how it’s been b*stardized to fit the left’s aims and goals in our world.
Good afternoon, Czarina. Love salt water taffy and always purchased it at fairs and farmers’ markets but not for a long time. Maybe taffy has gone the way of girls putting pennies in their shoes….
Good day, Stella! We’re at 51 degrees and cloudy. Was dreaming of a sunny but not too hot island somewhere like Tahiti but it’s 80 degrees and raining there today.
Dirty FBI Defends Authorized Use of Deadly Force at Mar-a-Lago Raid, Including: Triage Plans, 30 Armed Agents, and Map to a Trauma Center – Julie Kelly Shreds Their Lies to Pieces
In an appalling statement released Tuesday evening, the FBI claimed the authorization of deadly force on former President Trump is just “standard protocol.”
This is absolutely a big deal. Don’t buy the bullshit otherwise.
It was not a standard op. The MAL raid was an unprecedented action with significant potential for confusion and blue on blue issues and conflict. It also involved competing equities between federal agencies (FBI &…
Afternoon All. Been a coolish day here, even more so it seems, in the afternoon because of the breeze. It is in the 50’s now and overcast.
I had a blood draw this morning, just standard. It was funny, though. They were trying to straighten out some problem with the woman ahead of me at the counter. When she was finally finished, I went up and it turned out we had the same last names. Even funnier, they had connected her husband to me instead of her. Then, when they called me to go back, a woman who had come in after me had the same first name. Really weird. I can’t wait to see if they get the tests mixed up. I expect to be told I haveHop diabetes, a kidney problem, and arthritis when I go in to see the doctor. LOL. Oh, and that I am pregnant.
