I am starting a list of things to do and websites to visit to help with your trip to London. Or more likely for me when I return. I am on my way to Istanbul and Paris before I head back to the States for a couple of months. PORTRAIT BENCHES – Traveling outside the […]
It’s Kamala!!! & Defunding the Post Office – trump is at it again/still
I was an early supporter when Senator Harris announced her bid for the White House and I am so glad that wise minds prevailed and she was brought on by Biden to be his running mate. It meant the last couple of days have been happier. It’s nice to read positive things and have some […]

Is there a future for the Republican Party.
When trump was elected and it became clear who and what he was (clearer?) I hoped perhaps a new Republican Party would emerge. one of social liberalism, fiscal conservatism. Now I find myself hoping for a discussion about Gross Domestic Happiness as opposed to GDP… Last night I went to bed wanting a really good […]

Chocolate cake and A Wall of Mom’s in Seattle…
Portland’s Wall of Moms, Black Lives Matter and the Don’t Shoot protest groups filed a lawsuit Monday against the U.S. Justice and Homeland Security departments, arguing that federal officers are using excessive violence and violating protesters’ constitutional rights. Military-style squads dispatched to the city by the Trump administration are trampling protesters’ right to free speech by overstepping their […]

And when I say a full day I mean I made lunch, and dinner, and brownies, I ran 2 loads of dishes, washed 10 pots/bowls/ who knows what. there were Chinese Fish Sauce chicken wings which were amazing, as always. Just lay them out on a try, let them sit in stinky fish sauce for […]
