"A picture speaks a thousand words" My oh my, what a picture Reuters caught yesterday outside the white house. "Almost" all are enjoying the moment. Snippet from St Augustine Record in today's paper. Curious~
Snipped from St Augustine Record  9/30/2026 with article about AI executives at the white house yesterday.  The photo caught my eye and my curiosity.  All men are smiling except Elon.  Not a happy face has he.  Something is up.

Went to my local dollar general to get more pillows for my guestroom & met these wonderful shoppers. He said she was 23 yrs old. Beautiful & very well behaved.

Merry Christmas from me to you! We're having beautiful weather in beautiful Butler Beach & I'm looking forward to spending time with family & friends. Tonight is the one night a year that that people of the world pause & share good will towards one another for a moment in time. Savor that moment ❤️🎄
My Christmas decorations gathered over the years. In a tiny house there isn't room for a tree.  I found this grapevine tree several years ago & absolutely love it! Grandchildren helped me find the two gourd santa clause' & a daughter in law gave me the surfer santa this year. An early gift that I have enjoyed & he is welcomed into the bunch.  
Merry Christmas & good will towards all

Disappointed when I shopped today to stock up on pantry items. Hershey's changed the packaging of their Cocoa and REDUCED the quantity from 8 ounces in a plastic square tub to 6 ounces in a zip lock pouch. What's this? Shrinkflation?Posted this question on their FB page. We'll see if they reply?!?
