When my compression fractures have healed a bit more, I will be out again.

I am there in spirit.

Wish I could be there in body, but will have to settle for being there in (Tito's)* spirit.



*Tito's is my very favorite vodka...and this is simply icing on that cake:

On Racial Equity
We are committing an additional $1,000,000 to support social equity and the fight against racism through local organizations around the country.
As we continue our support of social equity in 2021 with a $1,000,000 donation commitment to local community-oriented nonprofits across the country, we are working with many incredible nonprofits in the areas of mentorship, arts and culture, the food and beverage industry, and community building. Through our donations, we hope to help amplify their missions to support the Black community and create a positive impact for our neighbors.

My good friend was at the Austin March in Jan. of 2017. She was with her daughter and granddaughter, and sent me wonderful pictures. Sadly she couldn't make this one. Killed, along with her husband, by a young drunk driver in a horrible accident in 2018! R.I.P. Alice.

Very hotnoutside but tons of people came (in the thousands). We were told overn600 marches were being held across the US. A Women's March person eve asked me to give them my sigh for the Women's March museum. It has a wite hanger in a red circle with slash through it. I attached a real wire hanger that could swing freely to the drawn hanger. It said, "No More Wire Hangers" and MY BODY MY CHOICE. The other side had a reused sign, very elaborate and took a lot of time to make...a US flag being smashed by a man's hand holding a gavel in place of a hammer and reads "Stop the GOP". I am keeping that one since it apllies to a lot of stuff
