Happy Saturday. Lovely afternoon in my sunroom with my rescue pup.

I’m posting this just because I love the memory. Wishing you all a wonderful day. It’s at a park in Paris - Belleville Park. Highest park in Paris.

Talking about your husband. @katyturreport.bsky.social

📌“The fact that I am American means, among other things, people can’t say, like they did about Francis, ‘he doesn’t understand the United States, he just doesn’t see what’s going on.’ “Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed?” -Pope Leo in a direct rebuke of the hideous Trump

Last Friday night I went to Brookgreen Gardens glass sculpture event of the art of Craig Mitchell Smith. It was a glorious night for it and the sculptures were terrific. #brookgreengardens

About to get inside your teevee with the wonderful @stephruhle.bsky.social, and here's what you won't see: Macgyvering my hotel room to serve as an on-the-road studio. That's a laptop perched on an ice bucket, with an ipad on a trash can balancing my portable light in a barely-lit room.

I’ve been unpacking from my move for the last 2 months. Today was my first day “off”and I decided to go to Brookgreen Gardens. BG is made up of former rice plantations and created by the Huntington family to showcase sculpture artists. It’s about 9100 acres & is located south of Myrtle Beach, SC.

Please give my senior pup some thoughts. He’s having surgery on his eye. Also having a spot on his back taken off. I’m afraid.

Just got back from #handsoff protest in Pawleys island SC. Several hundred people. About 20 or so deputies but it was entirely peaceful. Still going on but I’m tired. About half were around my age. They remember as I do protesting the Vietnam war. Never thought I’d be doing it again at my age.

You can now read about projects that were interrupted when 18F was disbanded. One of them was with the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP), which ensures military service members and Americans overseas are able to vote, and that their votes are counted. 18f.org/projects/#fe...

I’m really an unimportant person. Simply a blue dot in a red state. But what I saw yesterday turned my stomach. I would really like to be able to tell Trump and Vance to their face how horrible they are. I’m so embarrassed of my country. I’m so sorry Ukraine. #ukraine

I’m thinking we should rename presidents Day yo Good presidents Day and only celebrate not bad presidents (you know who I mean!)! Presidents’ Day

As I sit here watching President Carters funereal with tears in my eyes, I’m wondering how he would feel about all this pomp and circumstance. As opposed to a quiet burial next to his beloved Rosalyn. #presidentcarter

Always sleeping. #dogsosbluesky #blueskydogs

I paint watercolors but because I’m in the process of moving, I haven’t been able to do it much. Here are a couple that I did earlier this year.

I’ve been so busy preparing to move for the last few months that I haven’t been able to do anything I really enjoy. So nothing new to post but thought I’d post some of my prior photos. #photography

@jimacosta.bsky.social @markhamillofficial.bsky.social Jim, Maybe you could help out these brave folks by giving them (& their new presence on Blue Sky) a little exposure. Tks! 🙏

I’m a great reader of posts but don’t post much. Guess I just think nobody will want to read about my life right now. But here’s a photo of my bff Toby.
