We went to Pet Heaven in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Portsmouth is a very old new England fishing and navy sort of town. Powerful, small, charming architecture and great parks, great place for a craft brewed beer and good restaurants. It is on the ocean and a large river. Across the river is the Navy Yard where they build and repair submarines. They have a museum which once a real submarine, It is small but, interesting to go there.
But I digress, darn hate when that happens
.that object is not an egg yoke. It is carrot juice in my small dark blue glass.

I like the internet, but you can not smell what you see. You can not handle the item and then to smell an item. I would be lost with out my sense of touch, and that moment where you small an item. Some thing smell old. I live in New England...things here are very old.
Old tools have an dirt, oily smell. Clothes run the gamut of smelling like lavender, up to bodily orders
Furniture can have a smell that brings your mind back, way back to your childhood. It is not a gentle smell.
I do love lavender, so when Tom's of Maine came out with a lavender ladies deodorant, I hopped out and got myself one of those deodorant. After you use this product, there is a very nice..not strong lavender smell. Heavens, that is a right nice smell.

. Biden’s White House picks include many who have come over from his campaign, along with longtime allies who have served him since at least his time as Vice President. Announcing Ronald A. Klain as his White House chief of staff, Biden wrote in a statement, “His deep, varied experience and capacity to work with people all across the political spectrum is precisely what I need in a White House chief of staff as we confront this moment of crisis and bring our country together again.”
Thank you Mr. President. Good news...intelligence, plans, and discipline are alive and well.
Also news...the airlines are thinking of testing every one flying in a plane. Did they not do this before. The Airlines are going to be taking blood?????
I feel it has been thousand years, since I worked in the travel industry.
A two shot injection is about to be approved for Covid. Hospital workers first and then seniors. Yes, being old does have its advantages.
Fearing a long winter. Ordered series of books on Eleanor Roosevelt's life, Japanese embroidery book, and Glenn will set up an art area in the basement.
I want to stock up on paper goods, can foods, and pasta. I get worried about this lock down being worse than 2020's lockdown.
This year has had its challenges. Covid came in January to China, soon it spread to Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, and South America. People all of the world were catching Covid and were getting deathly ill, and many, many people died. Hospitals were over whelmed, toilet paper was a luxury item, and people started to wear masks. Soon, there were warnings to seniors not to go out....except to the doctors office or to shop for food.
Soon restaurants closed, and many went bankrupt. People in massive numbers lost their jobs, people zoomed from their computers to work. People were afraid. Then the police started to use more force than necessary and started shooting first and asking questions second.
Riots came to big cities. Nothing had any pleasure. Art museums closed, theatres closed, and bars shut their doors. Many venues opened out door seating. It was safer outdoors and six feet apart.
So, being a nice aunti, I spent three hours going through all of my photographs from 2020. I take alot of photos. Nature, Old Tv shows, history shows and nature shows.
The pictures mostly were of my walks around my wooded neighborhood with an old ice pond.
Lots of preserved land, hikes, and open nature.
Watching this many pictures was somewhat like watching a video of last year. Highlights, Jackson NH
Low periods of self isolation watching old movies, sewing, and reading. I listed to alot of cds from jazz to classical.
I was able to find three pictures of Glenn, two pictures of me, and one picture of our cat Miss Becky.
So within the next two months, we will receive a huge new family calendar. Usually, I cut out pictures of family that I want to keep from the calendar, copy family important dates and then I toss the calendar and buy a smaller wall one with nice pictures.
Pandemic is back and looks like we will have another long, dark winter. Today, no real results are in yet.
Some say results will not be in for at least until Friday of this week.
Stress levels are high. Large cities like DC, Boston, NYC and Philadelphia have boarded up the downtown areas windows in case of riots. I want to hide, stick my head in the sand, or escape this torture.
I listen to Classical WCRB and it helps the nerves. But, still my mind is running, always running the same picture of dark days ahead, brown shirts, guns, dictatorship, and more evil thoughts.
Can the Nazi theories be forgotten? Are we headed in this mind blowing direction.
I must calm down. Shut down the computer and exercise some yoga.
