You are so damn clever ! You really are!
Lol…Thank you! You made my day. 😊
My clever friend you are so welcome! Have a lovely day ! xo
You also…❤
Nice one. Clare is watching the coronation … I am avoiding it. Cut my hand last night … blood everywhere, red and bright. Nothing serious, but it did bleed!
Ouch! Not good…mend and enjoy your Coronation Free Day…Lol
I’m working on a project you might be interest in:

I’m going to donate all the proceeds to Art Programs for children in juvenile detention. Have a great day, Roger!
I’ll help with this …review … ad … or cash … let me know.
Thank you, Roger…I’m putting it together now…I’ll keep you posted.
I hope you will read and try to understand my point in my post today…”Well Wishes.”
🙂
I will, Steve. I haven’t had a chance to read anything today. Busy day…
Hope you are enjoying yours!
I am…hope yours is good too, even if you are so busy! I have mixed emotions today where the country is concerned. But I am trying to take and encourage a Godly view of it all…
Honestly, I think we make too much of the presidency. If we each focus on the part we can do in our own backyards, we would all be better off.
I agree that what we do ourselves is the most important thing, both to God and to others. I just wish our country’s leaders would believe and follow a more Godly path…
🙂
I’m not holding my breath…Lol
Nice, Tanya. I really should try to write Haiku’s again.
You should, Angie! They are lots of fun.
It was worth the wait, marvelous
Thank you, Manuel! I’m so glad you thought so.
How are you?
Busy, busy…but good…Working on the finishing parts of that poetry book…How about you?
Tanya, I agree that the man believes he is more king than president, so your reference is not without merit. With my concern over the environment the next four years, I am reminded of “After the Gold Rush” by Neil Young. Here is the first stanza.
Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
I just hope Mother Nature won’t be on the run under this man.

It is hard to understand and scary to think about. We just have to keep speaking for the sake of those who cannot. Thanks for sharing that, Keith!
Tanya, if our government cedes the mantle of environmental leadership, then private industry and foundations will assume it. Several businesses told ALEC they would no longer support them if they continued their climate change hoax posture, which they did. Fortunately, we are passed the tipping point on renewable energy, with its declining cost and even The Donald cannot stop it. Keith
One key is to educate people so that they really understand all the progress in renewable energy. It is an important issue. Thank for the comment, Keith! Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
