And I feel the same way about Trump and his lies. It's amazing to me that people can excuse that. I get that they may support some of his policies, even if I disagree, but flat out lying about what he knew and the timeframe. I truly feel that for some, nothing will get through. He has a teflon base and stuff that would sink anyone else just... doesn't. <br /><br />Anyways beautiful picture! What an awesome celebration. :) It's nice to look back at wonderful memories like that. And I'm encouraged by what you posted on the Navajo Nation. There are glimmers of hope even with all the bad stuff... <br /><br />I had to smile at the 2020 graphic. Poseidon for Biden made me laugh. :) <br /><br />Thanks for the good news, and be well this week!

I hope you were able to go forward with the party and that it was fun for everyone. <br /><br />I hope you get that rain. It's so desperately needed. There are so many fires. I heard about Oregon. It's all so devastating. We really need to get Trump out of office. He's coming to California this week and I don't see any good coming from it.<br /><br />I saw the one about the devil whispering in the teacher's ear on FB.

So scary. As for the political stuff, I'm with you 100% - my feelings have been going up and down lately. I think I need to stay away from Twitter and maybe even Facebook. I'm just not understanding after all the things that have come out, including taped conversations, that people are just not getting it. <br /><br />However, I try to stay positive. But, I know it's not always easy.<br /><br />Take care and stay safe.<br />Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261873308731564886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-55267056751134290082020-09-13T13:34:21.422-07:002020-09-13T13:34:21.422-07:00I hope the birthday party is a go! It sounds like ...I hope the birthday party is a go! It sounds like you need something to celebrate. I saw something about "doomscrolling" on FB the other day. I've never heard the term before but that describes exactly what I've been doing all week. Air quality in Portland has been at about 590 for days now. I consider myself healthy, but even staying inside, I've been getting headaches and feel something sinus-y starting (I am prone to yearly sinus infections). I can't imagine how people with heart and lung problems or migraines are feeling. It's somehow comforting to think that there could be eight future presidents alive right now, hopefully learning from our mistakes.

Right now, T is ahead 3 to 2, but considering there were no observed signs for the Democratic candidate in the last presidential election, I'm going to take this as a positive.<br /><br />I'm so sorry to hear about all the wildfires in your area.
