There's so much I love about this picture of my sisters and me as we #sit on the concrete steps: One in barefeet, one with shoes, me with just socks; scarves all around; those sunglasses - if you zoom in, you can see they were 29 cents! Necco wafers; my sister's missing tooth. #DailyPictureTheme

Nellie Pennington @whoanellieOur girl (15) has a friend over, and calls me from her room. "Is it ok if I graffiti the walls in my bedroom?" After agreeing to mask off the hand-hewn beams, they went off to collect all the spray paint they could find in the garage. Can't wait to see what they come up with!08:50 PM - Apr 26, 2024

On this day in 1958, following a 13-day engagement, my parents married. They made it nearly 50 years, until my father's death in 2008. They raised 5 kids, moving every few years during his military years, then settled in Maine and founded the Maine Antique Digest.

Me: "The emergency vet didn't charge my husband for the visit but said she'd never seen anything like the bumps on the pup's hind paws in her 14 years as a vet."
Our vet: (confidently) "Well, we'll see if it's something I've seen in my *42* years!"
After the exam:

Judge Merchan told Trump’s lawyer, Todd Blanche, that he’s losing his credibility with the court as Blanche tried to argue that Trump didn’t violate the gag order.

A spout at 1:00 am is a great way to find out who the other night owls/insomniacs are (or maybe they're just in a different time zone).

The first time I was called, I was seated on just about every jury, since I had no history with substance abuse, violence, or the police, wasn't related to any of the parties, didn't know everyone in the county. The second time was just after my SIL was murdered. I wasn't seated on any that time.

We've had a few rainy days & nights & that means the amphibians are on the move - and in the roads. The girl accidentally squished a frog the other night and was so distraught she had to stop driving. Last night, she stopped to help a bunch of frogs and two spotted salamanders to cross safely. Whew!

We have jobs and it's important that we do them thoroughly and well. But there are people on the end of those jobs, and those people are some of the most vulnerable. So sometimes caring for them is part of the territory. You can call me a softy and some people have, but they're human beings.
