Long phone conversation with youngest granddaughter who is graduating high school on Thursday in NC. Happily, there will be a live stream so absent grandmas can watch.
Met a lovely woman who runs the local cat rescue service -but- the 🐱🐱🐱seem to have disappeared. (Maybe it was the all-day hammering next door yesterday!)
High winds bent my patio umbrella, but now it actually looks jaunty & Great Gatsby-ish.
Long phone call from NC son who is hosting seven houseguests & a grad party for 60 high school seniors this week. He & DIL are fabulous chefs & hosts…I wish teleportation was possible.
Sunday afternoon nap after a lazy morning outside.
Making Asian dumpling soup again. So easy, so yum.
Apparently I’m keeping the three 🐱🐱🐱for awhile as de-kittifying has been delayed & more food delivered. Mom Felicia hisses 😾at me, but the kittens are fun to watch.
My A/C worked fine at first usage (since fall) last night. Triple digit temps on their way next week.
Another blissful morning reading on the patio, next to pots of petunias.
With everything he’s said,
And everything he’s done,
And all we know of his lack of character and proven criminality,
And all that he and his thugs have in store for America,
WE CANNOT LET HIM WIN IN NOVEMBER!

LOCAL CAMPAIGNS
Familiar, comforting sounds all morning from the landscaping project next door (we remodeled everything in our first home). I think today is redwood deck day.
Also the day of tiny flying things - bumblebee, hummingbird, dragonfly, butterfly - in my garden. (Oleanders at their peak bloom, below.)
Clean house, clean sheets, & I still don’t have to cook, thank you taco soup. Another blissful Thursday.
Bonus: Trump GUILTY x 34.
Another beautiful day in sunny/breezy NorCal. I haven’t yet used the A/C this year and it’s almost June.
My local grandkids assure me we have a plan to de-kittify the yard this weekend, and NC granddaughter won more awards last night, including MVP for lacrosse.
85% settled in with new iPad, although not having the “Home” key feels like a stairway without rails.
Bonus: 4) An afternoon nap!
New iPad Air arrived a day early & was a breeze to set up. (Unlike the olden days when upgrades were 48 straight hours & a million crises.) Does this keyboard make my font look fat? 🤪
Carpets & kitchen floor tile cleaned, yay!
The city won’t come capture the 3 stray kitties but one or both local grandkids will. Meanwhile, the cat food fairy arrived & I named mama cat “Felicia,” as in, Goodbye, Felicia.
Between the media’s pigheaded refusal to report unvarnished, unbiased FACTS, the uncontrolled marketing & usage of AI, foreign power misinformation bots, the apparent inability of any Republican or GOP media to speak the truth, and Trump’s incoherent and relentless lies, we don’t know anymore what is factual & what is MAGA’s magical thinking.
Pres. Biden’s Administration has racked up remarkable achievements since his inauguration, but millions of Americans are grimly unaware and will vote accordingly.
🚨We have a responsibility to tell the truth about Democrats’ agenda & Pres. Biden’s accomplishments.
🚨We have a responsibility to tell the truth about Trump’s plans to destroy our democracy, beginning with the US Constitution.
Spent all morning outside watching the critters, including a stray mother cat and her two kittens who apparently think they live here now. (YES I put out food and water, NO they aren’t staying.)
Finished organizing photos & apps for transfer to new iPad when it arrives Wednesday. 😋
Made taco soup last night that will last for days. I therefore declare this as ‘No-Cook Week’!
We all know there isn’t a patriotic gene or bone in the Trump clan.
TFG’s quotes about Rep. John McCain and others who served honorably & heroically in the US military are widely known - “losers and suckers” sums up his regard for those who didn’t have “bone spurs” and gave their years, health & lives for our country.
🚨PLEASE don’t let this despicable coward act again as Commander in Chief.
🚨PLEASE do all you can in these FIVE REMAINING MONTHS to re-elect Pres. Biden, whose respect, compassion and patriotism are genuine.
