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. 1mo
Susanita @julieclair That‘s cool! The presentation was by a storyteller who dressed like him and looked fabulous. 1mo

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? 2mo

Suet624 I wonder if I‘ll ever be able to set foot in Texas. 🥴 2mo
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

Finally getting my reading mojo back. Having this collection of essays to dip in and out of helped. A lot has already been said about this book and I don‘t have anything to add to the conversation except to say that it was an interesting and powerful read and I am glad I finally pulled it off my shelves. #24in2024

A must-read. I enjoyed the audiobook narration by several contributors, authors, poets.

REPollock @sue1624 thank you! He‘s a rescue bengal named Lenni and such a sweetie. 5mo
