We've been in Michigan for a week now, staying with The Mama. After a few weeks of real uncertainty, she slowly began recovering. A few days ago, she moved into a rehab facility, hoping eventually to return to the care facility she began living in some weeks ago.
Can she do it? We remain dedicated to helping her find out.
Meanwhile, we're living in a corner of the barnyard of the parents' farm. Much of the time, skies have been rainy and gray. (Not that we've noticed that much; hospital rooms are not known for being cheery and welcoming. Although they try.) Some of the roads we've been using are still in vivid fall colors, which are wonderful.
We'll continue to spend a lot of time in the rehab facility-- but I also need to return to finishing up reports and restoration work that was due when we had to leave suddenly. This weekend, I also made popcorn balls and set out a basin of candy. That pleased The Mama -- she is known for her wonderful popcorn balls. (Look for a recipe for them this week.)

President Biden once again only answers questions from a prepared list..."what I'm told is..." This differs slightly from his other favored comment, "I'm not supposed to take questions..."
Can you see previous Presidents saying this?

The origins and real meaning of "Let's go, Brandon..." I had no idea what this REALLY meant. Guess I really was 'living in a cave,' as one of the commentators say. And of course, ex-President Trump was treated with such respect. (No f--- words applied to him. Sure. I believe that.) Update: an interesting fashion response to AOC's 'Tax the Rich' dress, which AOC wore to at a very expensive Met Gala she was attending out of 'duty.' Sure. I believe that, too.

This is the same representative who campaigned to slash the Minneapolis police budget. (Which happened: $8 million worth.) Now:
In a speech given at the town hall event in Minneapolis on Saturday, Omar ripped into the 'dysfunctional' Minneapolis police department and blamed them for the city's rising crime rates.
'What we must also recognize is that the reduction in policing currently in our city and the lawlessness that is happening is due to two things,' Omar said.
'One, the police have chosen to not fulfil their oath of office and to provide the public safety they are owed to the citizens they serve...The Minneapolis police department is the most dysfunctional police department in our state and probably in the country.'"
Well, now you know, America.
Have a great week.

I am honored! Thank you for referencing my blog in your post. Everyone is welcome to visit now that I spent the evening completely rewriting it after your questions. I was quite vague...which is normally not like me. Usually, I can't stop talking, and talking, and talking...
Now to express my opinion: as for the turncoat Omar, I hope the police never respond to any 911 calls from her home.
And, I hope your Mom improves.

Thanks for answering the questions, Jeannie...guess I am just nosy.
Personally, I hope that funds for Omar's "personal security" just 'happen' to evaporate! That would also solve the issue.
thanks so much for writing. I continue to enjoy your blogposts very much.
