Only in 2020.....

 I think we all can relate to many of the following statements. 😊

Thanks to Amy for sharing! Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Birthday, Roxie!!

Look at that! We have another birthday to celebrate. Today it's our dear Blogger Queen Roxie's birthday. Our friend who is not only the blogger who has kept us going, but she's the finest caretaker of our handsome fella Duncan! Truthfully, you are much more than that. We could go on, but the party is starting.

Roxie, we wish you a very, very Happy Birthday!! You are a special person here on the blog, and in real life. Please enjoy the party we've put together for you. Just pull up a chair and let us take care of the rest. Today is your day to relax and enjoy yourself!

Happy Birthday, dear friend. Enjoy!!

You all look a bit thirsty. Hold on a minute.

Cheers, Roxie! Everyone, grab a glass or two.

A few flowers for the birthday lady.

Time for birthday cake. In a pandemic, it's best to have every type of cake imaginable.

A party favor especially for you, Roxie...

... And a little something for the morning, in case there was excessive celebration today!

Happy Birthday, Roxie!! 

Wishing you happiness, health and love in the year to come. xoxo

Looking at the Beauty Beyond

 Happy Friday, friends! 

We made it through another week, so that's something to be happy about. We're also happy that our fearless leader, Regina, is now at home resting and recovering. Sending much love and healing light to you over the miles, R. 

Joe Biden just picked his running mate, Kamala Harris, which makes me hopeful for the first time in almost 4 years. Like her or not, it's hard not to be giddy to think about how she'll take on the current VP in the debate. She suffers no fools.

Hopeful. I like that word. It brings up thoughts of a brighter future. The images this week are meant to express that feeling, with optimism towards a brighter, more beautiful future for all of us.

It has been difficult to find things to smile about lately. However, the following pictures worked for me. 😊 I hope all of you are amused by them as well!

Happy Friday, friends!! We made it through another week of summer. It's been a scorcher for many of us, however our pal P wins the prize for severest heatwave with temperatures in the 100s. P, you win a freezer full of popcycles.

I hope everyone is up for a small hodgepodge of pictures and memes. Be sure you make it to the last picture because it is an important question waiting to be answered.

Now it's time to settle the most important summer debate... 

Which one is correct?

I'd be remiss if I didn't include a link to the powerful, moving, inspirational eulogy President Obama gave at Congressman John Lewis' funeral yesterday. You can read it here.

Limericks

Pgfan shared these with us. Her Mom is 88 years old and writes limericks to keep her brain sharp.  She does a great job! I think everyone will enjoy her writing 😀

Thanks for sharing Pgfan!

There is this old lady (that’s me)
At home in the land of the free
But don’t vote in November
You may live to remember
How great this land used to be

Since birth I have known 15 Presidents
From Hoover to the current one in residence
Some were great, some not really so
But the current one has got to go
His evil surely knows no precedence

As we fight an awful pandemic
And racism all too systematic
Our President brags
While his rating sags
So he delivers a divisive polemic

If you get COVID you’ll be fine

Is our President’s new line
Too bad if you’re infected
As long as he’s elected
So sorry he won’t resign

The lady is wasting her time
Try to come up with this morning’s rhyme
Roger Stone and test taking
Covid records are breaking
And a leader who’s not worth a dime

Well he finally put on a mask
It wasn’t too hard of a task
Just wait for a minute
His sycophants will spin it
And in his orange glow they will bask

Don is destroying our land
Do you think it may have been planned
With Putin controlling
And Donnie extolling
Both of them ought to be banned

Don is not right in the head
I can’t believe what he said
Don’t listen to Fauci
He’s old and grouchy
Believe Chuck Woolery instead

As I sit in my house all alone
With my TV, books and my phone
This isn’t so bad
I shouldn’t feel sad
I’ll try for a happier tone

I’m determined to stick to my plan
To be as content as I can
Though I’m stuck inside
I still have my pride
All negative thoughts I will ban

I’m reading Mary Trump’s book
That gives us an insider’s look
At her uncle Don
The perpetual con
And the despicable actions he took

Friday Fun

It's the weekend and that means we're going to have some fun. Here are some silly cat memes that made me laugh, and I hope you get a chuckle out of them too.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow for more laughs at the Zoom Party.
