One minor problem I have is that my driveway is nearly gone, thanks to heavy rains, and I almost wrecked the car yesterday when it slipped off what is left of the driveway and into a ditch. Fortunately I corrected appropriately. We really need to get a load of gravel in here.

I encourage you to visit other participants in Sunday Stealing posts and leave a comment. Cheers to all us thieves who love memes, however we come by them.
George Clooney is showing up quite a bit. It may say something about the demographics of bloggers who participate ;) And The Newsroom *sigh* One of my all-time favorite series, and yes - that scene ...
ReplyDeleteIt might surprise you, but I LOVE that film clip. I have shared it many times over the years on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteI haven’t read all of these, but so far, your comment on the importance of education is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI don’t lust after anything either.
I hope the TMJ ( That brute!) vanishes swiftly! {Hugs}
That clip is fantastic! I’m reading a book and if you haven’t heard of it I’ll post it in the side bar. I think it absolutely dissects what has happened to send our democracy into this abyss. Stay strong lovely friend. Americans can solve this but first we have to admit that what’s happening is NOT for the best. Take care.. much love...
ReplyDeleteI wouldn’t call it a “lust after list” but I’ve only asked for three things for the past 3 1/2 years. To have my business grow and build to a nice amount. . Second that I’m able to take care of and be there for my mom until she passes, be that at home or in a nursing home. Last but not least,that the love I have in my heart be returned by someone who knows and appreciates it ‘s value and wants to have fun and enjoy every day laughing and sharing all that life brings.
