Just recently, the Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, and his wife and NINE CHILDREN, as publicity for the 250th, undertook, with corporate sponsorship, a Great American Road Trip, documenting it for a documentary film to be available on YouTube for free. As expected, the legacy media and the rest of the Angry Left are screaming …

I consider myself very lucky to have caught all three while standing on the patio.
So many great animal posts came out this week that I just had to share them.

This past weekend, we spent some time at Bellevue Square, a regional mall. They had a huge, interactive video screen for shoppers to play with. This was such fun, Hubby had a ball! https://videopress.com/v/3vCQuOzQ?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true Fun with skaters-watch the birdies too! Hubby loves penguins, and these were especially cute.
It's time to display the photos I took in 2025, of which I am the proudest. These photos were taken around home, and far away. We took two big trips in 2025, to Arizona and to the Carolinas, and both trips were great for photography, as we visited places where we had not been before. …
This is a woman whose account I follow on X/Twitter. She posts the most wonderful videos, of her "Hand of Snacks," wherein she holds out her hand full of bird snacks, and they come and eat. She must have an iron arm, because she can hold still for long periods while the birds come to …
