Celebrate life

 
Yes, my son Russ and his family will be attending several World Cup matches, in Atlanta and Philadelphia in the next month.



Today's the birthday of my beautiful daughter-in-law, Michelle. She and my son, Russ recently went to NY city and attended a play "The Lost Boys."


I love Michelle's efforts for gun control and to elect better representatives in Ohio. And she has been mother to three wonderful young women, my granddaughters. 

Happy Birthday Michelle!

Such a sense of joy on the face of my daughter-in-law, Barbara! Caught in the background of another person in a photo!


Some veggies aka volunteers (and employees) of Bounty and Soul food distribution in the Asheville area.

What? I've posted this before? Well, that's what resistance is all about, resist, repeat, resist.


Sunrise - not my photo.

Sharing with Thankful Thursday!

      Hope you also have a great day Eileen...thanks for stopping by. Yes, that sunrise reminds me how there's frequent fog here in the mountains of Appalachia.

      They certainly do a great job...every week carting veggies, eggs and bread around to different distribution places in the Asheville area. I am so grateful for the bounty they provide.

      Ha ha, as if they work in them. Sometimes they have provided cooking demonstrations, including giving out recipes. Not usually things I can eat, but somewhat interesting.

      I certainly do thank the women and men volunteers at Bounty and Soul! That photo must have been taken in 2020 or so, since the pandemic was still happening.

    One can certainly see that your son is your son, strong genes there! Lovely Michelle- she wears her passion well! AND her fabulous B/W dress. So nice that they get around to events here and there. I have a bit of jealousy ...Dennis won't budge!

    Yes, we need to remind ourselves of that kind of "resistance" ... :)

    These days, just getting out of bed feels like an act of resistance.
