Late Night

I found myself grieving the end of Stephen Colbert's show this week. It hit me in a sad way. 




When I was a kid I used to sit at the top of the basement stairs just  the right angle to watch the Johnny Carson Show. My mother was a night owl also. She always knew I was there, but let me stay and watch.





David Letterman was a life saver. He often entertained me while I was feeding one baby or the other. In the Summer I would watch his crazy antics. I loved the silliness of it all. I loved his mom. I looked forward to what pies she was cooking for Thanksgiving. I also loved his Christmas show where they threw the football at the Christmas tree, trying to knock the pizza off the top. And I thoroughly enjoyed the stuff he threw off the roof of the theater. 




When I started watching Colbert, I loved his political jokes. They carried me through DJT.1. If you have to live through it, the very least you could do is laugh at it. So when DJT.2 came along, I thought we could do it together. I like to get my news from late night comedy and Heather Cox Richardson. 

Well, DJT has no sense of humor. He bullied Paramount to let go of Colbert. It set a tone and it stank. I just can't believe he got away with it. 

I am so tired of this administration. They are lawless and unethical. They have no regard for truth or dignity. They have filthy mouths and unprofessional language. They have no respect for human life. They cheat.without shame at everything; marriage, the stock market, golf, and taxes. And they lie. My favorite scripture is, Wo unto the liar, for he shall be thrust down to Hell. Knowing that they will rot in Hell is no comfort to me. 

We have to watch out for each other and keep up the resistance. We have to know what is going on without letting the news ruin our days. And most importantly, we have to laugh at DJT. It's not hard, 

I'll find someone else to watch and make new memories. I will keep supporting those who tell the truth and make me laugh.


The battle is real... 
It good over evil...
You say goodbye, I say hello...

Harvest Blessings

I love the end of Summer with its beautiful harvests.  The smell of soup that fills the kitchen. I spent most of yesterday making tomato soup for grilled cheese and tomato soup dinners this Winter.  I'm so grateful that my neighbor gifted me the tomatoes and fresh onions were available at the Farmers Market. This simple recipe is 100% nutrious and delicious.  I freeze the soup in 3 cup portions. It's what Wes uses to cook dinner once a week. I did think that it was a lot of work so that Wes could think he cooked dinner, more than once yesterday.  Love living in Idaho.... Harvest Blessings.... Good day...

Walks, Lake Day and I've had Enough

Image
I love my morning walks this time of year. I tend to focus on the beauty  Because we all know that when Winter comes, I'll be whining. Had a beautiful day at Redfish .. Picnic and lake time.  And to finish up this post, it's my anniversary. To be honest, this has been a really hard year. I am working very hard on not correcting the things that Wes says. He is often confused and his problem solving skills are declining.  My other problem comes when we are around people in the stake and he's always walking up to people (who are apparently Bishops) and saying, ' Hello Bishop'. I don't even have words to describe how weird I think this is.   Sometimes I feel like he has joined a club that I want no part of.  If you have any words of wisdom....I need them.  I have been thinking about my mom and these were her words of wisdom...Men are weird and they get weirder w...

The Summer of $50 Picnic

I love a picnic, but this year has been pricey. Some of these picnic were for two and others for more. They were all the best. Eaten in the mountains or by the sea, they were all enjoyable.  Wood River picnic area. Johnson Lake in Canada  Crab sandwiches in Bodega in California.... Challis Idaho  Redfish Lake Idaho. What a beautiful way to spend the Summer. Sandwiches and cookies, blue skies and good company.  Not ready for Fall.... Happy Summer Days.....
