Hey, Roy Cooper! I had a similar conversation with a Home Depot employee just hours ago. He was helping me to find the correct size of fluorescent light bulb and I'm too old to read the ones on the bottom row. God bless you, Roy Cooper. NC 💕 you.

... in ice cube trays. Flavor boost! Ditto for bell peppers. Cut & core to freeze fresh (strips or diced) peppers to use as needed. You could give it a try.

Be your own sous chef! I do that with a lot of things. Ex: I'll make skillet of caramelized onions and freeze it in small portions. Then it's a flavor boost for soup, stews, scrambled eggs, sauces or a pot of onion soup. Same with pesto - make a batch with summer bounty, and freeze it ...

Sunset photoshoot with these white-faced ibises! Despite the moderately-terrifying red eyes, these birds are stunning when the sun hits their iridescent feathers just right. #Birds #Photography

There is nothing like the coziness of a handknit blanket. 🧶😍 Cables can look intimidating, but the concept for a basic cable (like these) is straightforward. Check out some tutorials online. You can also follow @annaplexis.bsky.social for a daily tip on knitting techniques.

The stage management of these campaign events is on par with a grade school play. We forgive the grade-schoolers bc we are their parents, and they are kids. We drove them to school in the family car, we didn't fire up Air Force Two to get them there. The stakes are lower for a school play.
