1. Spent the night with my sister on Friday. We went to a lovely choral concert and the next day to a cat themed art show.
2. The former pastor of my church came back as a special speaker and offered some good insight into coping with…all this.
3. I took some old towels and a blanket to the animal shelter and learned they have a pet food bank.
4. I got a much needed haircut.
5. Two interesting Black History Month presentations. #5joysfriday

julieclair What lovely joys. Isn‘t Robert Smalls‘ story amazing? I live near Beaufort, SC, and he is a much-admired local hero for sure. 2mo
Susanita @julieclair That‘s cool! The presentation was by a storyteller who dressed like him and looked fabulous. 2mo

A quick read touching on Texas history that you may not know surrounding Indigenous and enslaved people. The author reminds us how important it is to know our history, and that you can both love and criticize something at the same time. This is an ongoing and important lesson to remember in these frightening times.

Suet624 Beautiful photo. Where is this? 3mo

Suet624 I wonder if I‘ll ever be able to set foot in Texas. 🥴 3mo
JenniferEgnor @Suet624 I‘ve got some friends there, but no desire to go. Too hot, and I just can‘t stand the thought of the way things are there. The PNW and the NE are more me. 2mo
Suet624 @JenniferEgnor same here. 2mo

Libro.fm offered this audiobook for free on June 19th and I scooped it up and gave it a listen. It's a relatively short book, around 3 hours, but goes into the history of Juneteenth as well as the continued effects of slavery in our country afterwards and the author's personal experience as a Black woman growing up in Texas. Very informative and important, showing the integral role of African Americans in Texas history
