#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD

Sorry folks, although I know Dorothy‘s real life I wasn‘t sure what we would read. Or what the author would write. I should have alerted triggers.

988 https://988lifeline.org/

As with any author I‘m sure her opinions have seeped in. Not every detail of real life is always shared is a good reminder. This is fiction many people and facts aren‘t told here is a good reminder. The author chose what to share.

Til Sunday 🤐🤐🤫

It‘s hell week here or Tulip Time for tourists
I always think the long train of buses of the elementary kiddos is cool Kinderparade today. No I do not go to any of it. Construction has closed a main highway and a freeway and 350,000 ppl descending on a small town 😵‍💫
Glad to be on the lake/north of town enough to not be affected, video is fun. 🚌
I have participated for decades Im just old enough to say no thx now! 🎉 Teachers draw straws.

In Yiddish, "mishegas" (also spelled "mishigas" or "mishugas") refers to craziness, silliness, or foolishness. It can also refer to a situation or behavior that is irrational or absurd. The term is often used humorously to describe something that is chaotic or nonsensical.

More 70s @dabbe

1. I have never been wrong about a person I‘ve met and my first impression … ever. In my entire life. Even when I wanted to be wrong. It is a bit unnerving at times. It is also why I make ppl uncomfortable Mr BookHippie says. My daughter says it‘s as if I hold up a mirror showing people who they really are. 🤷🏻‍♀️😬

2. Tagged 🙃🙂🙃 #TWO4TUESDAY

Library borrow.
Many good quick recipes that I copied down
Many recipes with food that is not available here
Many nut and fish ingredients which I can‘t do for my whole family due to allergies.
It is laid out very nicely and it is simple.
So not buying but may borrow again #mtcookbook

I focused on my flower a day as I‘ve fallen behind..
It‘s hard to focus in the still while we are grieving and your child is grieving and there are not words.
As I said Friday a dear family friend-a very young woman took her life in the early hours Friday. It‘s just difficult. It is still raw, and just a shock. Anyway happy for flowers to look at and admire the beauty and frailty of it all.

Everyone welcome 🤍🤍🤍🤍

We‘ve lost nuance and empathy
And gained hatred and othering
Again
Daily reminder that two truths can be held and humanity is just that - human.

Read both sides, read against your confirmation bias, read to learn to not use as a weapon or avenue to hate.

Ted talk Sunday sermon food for thought musings.
Life is too short to be consumed by hatred and the ego of I am right ..
Divide and conquer is oldest trick in the book- don‘t fall for it.

FRIDAY NIGHT DINNER
HOT FUDGE SUNDAE
With Grapefruit on the Side

Ya'll I do not eat grapefruit it's actually not allowed with my beta blocker...
The funny is -see that tiny thing under the grapefruit? It's sold as a grapefruit bowl...

l actually do not know the last time I had a hot fudge sundae. Dairy and I are not really friends...

This was fun and easy and a nice treat after a long week and a trying day.

#5JoysFriday
1. Green leaves on tree
2. Lilac bush is awake
3. Strawberries survive the frost
4. Beautiful pink sunset
5. Making pickles with grandson

This was hard to do this morning as I‘m heartbroken with the news that a young person I loved took her own life in the night…. Her name was Rainn and we loved her very much. But we have to hold onto joy, it is essential to life. If you‘re struggling please hang on, please reach out. 988 ⬇️

rachmones (rahch-MUN-ness) - Compassion, fellow feeling, empathy, pity. "The Rachmones" would also make a very nice name for a sensitive Yiddish punk rock group.
