Notice all the faces in this group of accordion players getting ready for the big Accordion Parade down the main street of Leavenworth, Washington. All ages, both sexes, no two alike. I'll bet you could not tell that the man at the right with his back to you and the LIAC t-shirt is blind. Yes, …

It’s A Miracle!
It's a miracle of modern technology and medicine. See the picture below. This is me. I now look like this all day while I'm awake. Please notice that I am not wearing glasses. For the first time in 63 years, I can see the world without Coke-bottle glasses, and that's a miracle in my book. …

I think I live in the most beautiful part of the USA, the Pacific Northwest. Within one or two hours' drive, you can be at the ocean, the lake, the mountains, or the desert. Let's start right close to my home, in Everett, Washington, just north of Seattle. This is Silver Lake, about a half-mile …

Photo Challenge……Beloved
I was reminded again this afternoon of how beloved our little cat is in our household. She needed to have some teeth removed, so I took her to the vet yesterday afternoon (and she meowed plaintively all the way), and picked her back up this afternoon. The vet said she was a "model patient" and …

Weathered, Creations of Man, and of Nature
This building was originally built in the twelfth century, in England. The Abbey of Bury St. Edmunds. Much of it has weathered away, with the help of the local people, who often used the fallen stones for new buildings. But even the ruins are beautiful.

…On the Other Hand… 2017 Wrap-up
2017 was an "on the other hand" year for RushBabe49. For every great thing that happened, there was something disgusting in return. No good thing goes un-punished, and 2017 was a great example. Starting in January with the inauguration of duly-elected President Donald Trump. Election night in 2016 was the most fun I had had …
Increasing scandals, rarely talked about
Do you know what all the women above have in common? They are all teachers, at K-12 level, who have been arrested for having sexual relationships with their students. All of those students were under 18 years of age. A teacher has power over her students, so can order them to do things that they …

2017 was highlighted by travels, to various destinations to meet with friends, and to get re-acqainted with old (in both senses of the word) friends. Here are my favorite highlights.
