The Week at a Glance


Yeah yeah...try explaining it to my Shelby-Cat, who will be waking me in the morning at her USUAL hour.
Okay?

Yes...at 2 AM tomorrow (technically tonight since I will still be sleeping) tiny time-thieves, probably in Benjamin Franklin attire, will sneak into our homes and take away one more hour...and instantly BAM...it is 3 AM.

And all the night shift workers get off an hour early!

The week has been busy...but started out absolutely INSANE.

And by INSANE I mean this guy, of course.


On Monday night Sam Nunberg had an absolute breakdown across several news stations one after another with America watching.

It was sad.

But like most train wrecks...you just HAVE to watch, right?

It all started over a subpoena from Special Prosecutor Mueller.

Needing to have Sam and all his email correspondence with pretty much everybody ever connected with the Trump Administration in front of a grand jury on Friday.

Now, I don't know if he was wired, or angry, or drunk, or scared or maybe just having a breakdown...but he was unfuckingbelievable.

Yes Sam...now Mueller, Trump (and America) know...you ARE the WEAKEST link.

The play by play, later Monday night by Colbert, was nothing short of spectacular.

Best line of the entire night:

"Asking Mueller to just ARREST you...is like telling Hannibal Lecter to EAT ME...it never ends well."

During one of the newscasts Nunberg was asked by Jake Tapper

"So...you are willing to go to JAIL for this Administration."

and there was a long long long drawn out silence...as though he hadn't quite thought of that.

And yes...by Friday...he did manage to show up for the subpoena.

This week Florida's Governor Rick Scott also did something...er..not so surprising He signed the gun bill that he had been saying he had no intention of letting pass. It seems that dead kids aren't enough for a change of heart...but aspirations for a Senate Seat during an election year...well THAT is a different matter entirely.

Yeah, good luck with all that...cause I'm thinking EVERYONE has pretty much seen your true colors now.

As for me...for 2018 and 2020 it is going to be straight party ticket. Blue no matter who. We have got to get these psychopaths out of office.

(And I NEVER vote straight party)

Only


Days left until Spring Proper, here.

And...as it usually happens in Indiana...that meant Tuesday and Wednesday we woke up with bitter cold winds and SNOW again.

Not to worry, back to sunshine and nearly 50 degrees today. It is just around the corner now!  Cookout with the kids planned next weekend.

Also joined an Over 50 Women's Group this month. Discussions range from Politics to Adult Children and Grandchildren.  A lot of information about SS and many over 50 household and living tips. Really enjoying meeting new friends and sharing stories/ideas !

Counting down the days until  Rose and Idgy's Spring Adventure!

Only

   
to go!

And we will  once AGAIN be "out of the box" for several days.



Looking forward to a Flaming Thin Mints Combined Birthday!

Also enjoyed a Friday Drop by...with Nicole and Aiden.

Love her new dye and cut.  Beach Hair!
Just gel or mousse..scrunch and go!



Aiden is growing up so fast. We think by summer he will be old enough for a short solo 1:1 day out with "Grandma Rose" 
He is very good.


Looking forward to Spring Break (coming soon) and 1:1 with Brenden, Emma, Kaylee and Hannah.  So nice to have individual "Grandma Rose Days" with them.  Must stock up on the whipped cream.

"What Time is It?'

"Whipped Cream Time!!!!"

Also looking forward to meeting my newest Grand-Puppy

Georgia


 She is a Pocket Bully. A cross between an English Bulldog and a Pitbull. Yes, like Labradoodles this is a breed now. When they are grown they look like this



They stay short, squat and muscular.

I absolutely LOVE those eyes!

Can't wait to meet her!

This week's Movie:  Ladybird

A nice growing up and coming of age film.  Showcases the mother-daughter conflict and resolution.

Well worth a look!

The Book this week:  Parisian Charm School

 


A delightful non-fiction look at French Woman and the way they live (and enjoy) life. A relaxing and fun read whether you are French or not.

Working a little more on my Ghost of Monet (ala Peterson) painting this weekend, and may actually play in the dirt and get some of my forced (but not used) bulbs in outside containers tomorrow if the weather cooperates.

More Virtual Australia on Monday!


Next up: Yarra Valley Winery and Puffing Billy Steam-train Tour from Melbourne.
