HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE!

Another fun week around here!

Tuesday night, Daughter #2, Korbyn, and I attended Remi’s (#0)
basketball game.

The boy played out of his head, scoring 16 of the team’s 36 points,
serving up a big win.

Wednesday night, Nana and Papa took Kaden and his family, Daughter #2, and the baby to Oliver Garden to celebrate Kaden’s 18th birthday. It is so hard for me to wrap my head around that. The baby that made me a Nana is now an adult. We are beyond proud of the wonderful man he has grown into and excited to see what the future will bring. The sky truly is the limit.

Work kept us busy the rest of the week.

Another week has gone by. 2025 seems to be going at breakneck speed.

This little guy is already 1 month old. He weighed 10 lbs 14 ozs at his doctor’s check-up. He is smiling more, spends more time awake and “talking”, and loves cuddle time with Mama, Nana, and Papa. We are so blessed every day with each new discovery he makes.

School basketball is underway for Remington. They are playing 2 – 3 games a week. Daughter #2, Korbyn, and I went to his game last Tuesday night. Daughter #1 met us in the parking lot, got the baby in the stroller, and took off while Daughter #2 unloaded my scooter and got me into the school. The baby was a big hit with all the team’s parents and some of the kids.

Remi’s team eeked out a win 26 – 24. He made a few baskets and free throws to contribute to the win, but admitted they had all played better the night before 🙂 We missed having Papa along to get some action shots. Remi is wearing #0 this year.

I have escaped into several good books lately. I added 1 more to my Best Reads List – Missing at Christmas (Love Inspired Suspense) by Deena Alexander. Deena writes books that are impossible to put down, with characters that are easy to get invested in. I look forward to every book in this series.

HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE!

It was a quiet week here, enjoying time with our new grandson, who will be a month old on Tuesday. Not going to lie, I could play with him, feed him, watch him sleep all day long. We haven’t been this hands-on with a newborn since Kaden entered the world, and we are enjoying every minute of it.

And in Washington, DC, the shutdown continues. People are receiving notifications of doubling and tripling insurance premiums and SNAP benefits have been halted. But the Lincoln bathroom got a big remodel with more marble than you can imagine, the President embarrassed all of us with his antics and lies in Asia, boats are being blown up in the Caribbean and Pacific, killing over 25 people/fishermen with no evidence they were trafficking drugs and last night he hosted a Great Gatsby-themed gala at Mar-a-lago, complete with dancing girls, some in giant champagne glasses. His skewed view of our country is delusional; maybe that was why he needed another MRI and cognitive tests.

HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE!

Following the 7+ million people participating in the No Kings March last Saturday, this week, we and the world watched the demolition of the East Wing of the White House.

No permits, no historical committee approvals, no environmental oversight, no final authorization, no approvals from NPS, NCPC, and CFA, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the White House Chief Usher / Facilities Management Office to finalize funding, scheduling, and logistics. The Jacqueline Kennedy Garden — established by first lady Edith Roosevelt as the Colonial Garden in 1903, adjacent to the East Wing — was also leveled during the demolition, according to satellite images. (Earlier this year, Trump also paved over the Rose Garden, which was designed by the same architect who designed the Kennedy Garden). Two historic magnolia trees originally dating to the 1940s designated as commemorative trees for Presidents Warren G. Harding and Franklin D. Roosevelt, appear to have been removed as well. Many have voiced their fury over this, and a Virginia couple has filed a lawsuit. Looking at the images and reading all the stories and articles broke my heart. Michael Ian Black penned an article for The Daily Beast, voicing the truth through humor: A Strongly Worded Letter From Donald Trump’s HOA that put into words what most of us were thinking. Please check it out.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, the hits just kept on coming. The shutdown continues as people receive letters of huge premium increases for their insurance. Food Share programs are unfunded starting November 1. These programs are usually deemed essential services, but this time, they were designated a “Democrat Project” by the President and will be unfunded, putting many families in jeopardy and local food pantries at risk of not being able to fulfill their needs. Plus, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge has been opened up to oil and gas drilling, bulldozing decades of environmental protection and spitting in the face of Native communities, wildlife advocates, and climate science itself. Of course, there is more, but our minds and bodies can accept only so much.

On a happier note, Mr Korbyn and Miss Rylynn met my sister, their great aunt Lueann, on Thursday.
