Each element of this picture tells a bit of my story. From the sign on the left of this shelf, you can see that this is above my desk at work. People who come over know at a glance that I am available to help them with their issue. To the right of that sign …

Who ARE these people?
I found this picture this morning, of Democrat 2020 presidential hopefuls. Just look at these potential candidates. What impressed me about this picture is the expressions on the faces of all four. Every one of them comes across as a scold. Not one smiling face. The three on the right are obviously speaking angrily to …
Faces in a Crowd…of Accordions!
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. …
Something Sweet for Valentine’s Day
Is there anything sweeter than a little girl with a teensy accordion? https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/sweet/

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 …
Vindicated!! RushBabe’s Staying off Facebook and Twitter was the Right Decision
Just lately, there have been a number of stories in various media of huge tech companies having their discriminatory policies toward users with conservative viewpoints exposed to public view. Just lately, the big story has been that Twitter staff have, behind the scenes, "shadow-banned" conservatives by making their tweets essentially invisible to their followers. Current …

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. This spectacular example of Nature's Creation, weathered, is Bryce Canyon …
…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 …
