Monday Stuff On the way to Other Stuff: The Mama

 (My capitalized 'w' is not working...at least the 'w' key is now!)

    Monday is the two-year anniversary of The Mama's death. And what did we sing, but "no more dying there...we're going to see the King" in church. It was a kind reminder from God that life does go on, even after life. 

     Love you, Mom (and Pa, too.) See you soon.


  

 Still not feeling great -- this flu is really hanging on. The bare household jobs get done, including food on the table (easy recipes). Our one 'exciting' trip this week will be to Denver for our annual dentist visit. Oh, and meeting Daughter #1 for lunch -- whoo hoo! 

Meanwhile:

Governor DeSantis withdrew from the presidential race -- and endorsed Trump!  I would have voted for you, Governor...

How would you like to live in an old abandoned mining town?  P.S. He's trying to make it into a luxury resort.

Unusual facts about ancient monuments -- some you've probably never heard of!

'Hateful and ungrateful' entitled people.

Strange anecdotes... that could very well be true!

A rather quirky thank you speech from Robert Downey Jr., to all the entertainment critics that have savaged him over the years. And now they've given him an award, which makes it extra funny. Good for him!

“The Critics Choice Association, they’ve given me such beautiful feedback, really just so many great moments,” Downey Jr. said at the start of his acceptance speech. “And some of it’s so poetic, I just want to share some of their thoughts with you over the years.”

He went on to quote several unflattering critiques he’s received throughout his career, starting with one review Downey Jr. described as haiku: “sloppy, messy and lazy.”

The many uses of duct tape while you're traveling... Red Green would be proud.


Blessing others -- a good point, brought up by My Tireless Retirement.

'The oldest dog ever' -- was he, actually?  (The article mentions another documented 'oldest,' who was an Australian cattle dog. (Ruby's breed, incidentally.)

'I'm not that old, Mommmm!'

The incredibly educated, successful, wealthy businessman... who wasn't. And apparently couldn't bear for his wife and daughter to find out. 

Is Suzanne Somers still hanging around the house she lived in for so long?


And, I guess... that's it. I'll have a larger collection of Stuff next week.

Have a good one.

Has it really been two years since your Mom passed? Oh my. I know the pain is still real and I am sorry. I do understand. Sigh.
