The Jan 6th hearings
Spent time again today watching and listening. Sharp committee in my opinion. Justice Dept. is listening too. I am uneasy the way our democracy is heading. The Trump Republicans have not stopped yet trying to interfere with my votes. Their plan to over take State offices is moving ahead and is down right scary!
I'm not talking about decent Republicans that have sense and know we can't have a King and are a 2 party system.
I'm trying hard not to pay a lot of attention to politics and a Congress that cares more about the rights of the NRA than the rights of little children who deserve to have a life. Military style weapons belong with the military, not my neighbors. My heart bleeds for the parents and families left to bury their children. It was hard enough for me when we buried our grown children and I can't even imagine not being able to see my child and bid them goodbye because someone decapitated them. One expects this in a war zone not that it would be easy there to bury your child either.
On to the more pleasant, our church mission folks arrived at Malawi today. My friend Karen's passport didn't arrive so I haven't talked to her to see if she will get there later or not. (I didn't think the apostrophe belonged in her name. Word corrected me).
It will be a busy I think 2 wks they will be there. Only 5 of them this time, unless Karen makes it. Moses is waiting for them to finish a 'Granny's' house too. I don't see without James and only pastor David how that will happen. I follow them on Facebook so I'll find out.
I follow my friend expat Lois in France, she has friends in Ukraine so I get some of those posts. That's tearing her up, she's been there, she taught English there. I should ask her how many languages she speaks. She was forced into retirement and with DT as President here she did not come back. She bought a house and courtyard and barn and has been fixing it up. That's been interesting to me as well.
I just live through all my friends on the internet now. That is the ones I hear from and know what is going on in their lives.
Our weather has been to hot for me to go out with my rollator. I won't leave early a.m. as Wil is not up and I know have to prepare his cereal too. Tues. he didn't put milk on it and wouldn't let me do it and I had an appt. Verlene got him to drink some with lunch.

Well said. It's good to read your posts again.
@BLB: Thanks, Bonnie.
Rosemary I'm sorry you lost your dog. I think sometimes I am nuts getting these two cats but I guess it happened as I don't like being without a pet. More so now.
@fauquet: I seem to make a lot of typos myself Michel. It's like my fingers are ahead of me.
No apology necessary.
Hello Bonnie, good to see your post I was just thinking hadn’t heard lately. I did get the one also couple days ago. Just said goodbye to my sweet doggie and not been really with it for awhile. Take care.
Please excuse the typos .
We all have been terrified by the massacre of children in a school of Texas . A regulation tohold an arm is needed.

I wonder why everyone of our generation doesn't engage in the critical thinking that you display. Right on!
