#DailyPictureTheme #Hug
As a new mom with a toddler, I barely knew which end was up. But hugs! Wet, sticky, mommy-daughter hugs got us through the day. And we figured it out. And it was truly amazing.

I use the Seek app by iNaturalist https://www.inaturalist.or...
when I want to know what I'm seeing. This Green Liveforever succulent native to coastal California and Baja California is threatened and uncommon.

#DailyPictureTheme #Tense #Sit (A twofer tale)
School was cool today until SHE walked in and sat WAY too close behind us, smack in the middle, and right ON Unicorn's tail. She thinks she's so special because she breathes. We all tensed & stiffened & sweet American Girl Doll Mollie even turned away.

I can't figure it out, either, and I'm her grandhuman. After awhile, it just pains my eyes.

On October 2, 2017, I joined hundreds of Las Vegas residents and visitors who arrived at dawn to wait nearly 12 hours outside in order to donate urgently needed blood after 52 concertgoers were murdered and hundreds injured at the Route 91 concert the night before.

Olympic gold medals are HEAVY!
Red ribbon: XXIX Olympiad, Beijing 2008, the 2008 Summer Olympics
Blue ribbon: XIX Olympic Winter Games, Salt Lake 2002
The medal fronts (shown) are the same for all winners of a given Olympiad; the reverse differs for each sport.

A few rugs from when we moved our mother out of her house. The bright blue Kirman in the first picture was by far her favorite. The last rug was not my mother's, but it's the cutest because it's accessorized.

This mid-century modern gem on Spring Mountain Road--the former Southwest Gas Corp. headquarters--is for sale. I hoped to capture the feel of the 1971 campus with its gracious, horizontal lines and large, shade-giving eaves before it is forever lost to Las Vegas.

Bono and U2 on stage were fabulous, but The Sphere's multisensory experience elevated the performance to the sublime. The stage foregrounds the visuals on the interior walls that virtually take attendees outside and backwards and forwards in time.

When you put a private bowling alley in your house, you get free bowling shoes in all sizes.
Not my alley. Not my shoes.

Sure wish I knew who took this on April 2, 2023, and why it is on my phone. It looks like Mount Charleston, the highest point in Clark County, Nevada, at nearly 12,000 feet, forms the back ridge. But IDK🤷♀️
