Good morning, everybody? While I’m jealous of your 76 and 80 degrees, guess what it is NOT doing this morning? 😃 It’s not raining!!! It’s gray and supposed to rain today, but this reprieve is nice. I must’ve been living under a (wet) rock because I didn’t think the flooding was that bad. Our propert is still safe, but there are quite a few roads closed in my town, and properties along the Willamette River between my town and the next are flooded and farm animals have been moved to higher ground. Later this morning, I’m supposed to drive through town and over the river to scrapbook with a friend. We will see how far I can get!

I treasure my antiques, too. I’ve only purchased one. The others were from my grandmothers, and those I cherish the most. Some are over 100 years old, and one in particular (a 2 ft. vase came over on the ship from when my great-grandparents immigrated from Holland in the 19-teens. I think that vase can be traced back to about 1850-1860.

It breaks my heart to hear how our soldiers were tortured before the died/were killed. I agree with my twin...more days are needed to honor their sacrifices and lives!

I’ve never had a Chinese almond cookie (that I can remember) but I love anything almond! I also love libraries! 😍 I think I’m going to stick with my given name. No need to confuse myself more than I already do! 🤪😂

Sending dry hugs today...first ones in over a week! 🤗🐶🐶🤗💖📚🤪
