A Laugh with Bernie Sanders via Meme

 Please realize that the picture above is the original shot of Bernie Sanders at the inauguration of Joe Biden. Over the weeks that followed, it became a very famous meme sparking a lot of laughter. Bernie Sanders has been a 3rd party presidential candidate a few times. He is very progressive in nature. But it seems that the mittens are what people fell in love with here! What follows are the funniest of all the memes I have found.

Inauguration Day 2021 Biden & Harris

Today was a red letter day for sure!  This is for many reasons but mostly because it is the 1st woman vice president and the 2nd time a Catholic has become president! It would be during this presidency that Roe vs. Wade would be overturned, something I have been praying for since I was born. Father O'Donovan would give the Invocation at rhe ceremony. And Donald Trump is OUT!

Hatred of this Rug

 Purchased when we were 1st married, this rug has been in our home ever since. I cannot tell you how much the kids hate this rug. i'm not really quite sure why. It doesn't show any dirt, which is the best thing. I love it! But someday we will replace it, so I thought I would put it here for posterity.

Pet Transitioning : Bunnies to Kitties

Here is our Miku, avidly watching a bird at the bird feeder. It is one of her favorite activities. And on a sad note, we have been having trouble losing our bunnies to what we think is a congenital heart defect. First Luma and now Kumo, ... simply get weaker and weaker until they are gone. So very sad! We tried to make them as happy as possible with one of their favorite foods to eat: apples. Mario would out-live them all! But he is not of the same genetic line.

January Snow & Winter Walk

Such a beautiful snow today! And even though Annie didn't want any pictures taken, we did go on a Winter Walk reminiscent of one of our favorite winter children's books. "Red boot up, red boot down, through the glistening snow. Look! Tiny twig-like tracks! I wonder where they go?"

January 6, 2021 Trump Supporters Storm the Capital

 Today was a truly dark day in America's history. Trump supporters, reacting to Trump's loss, andespecially a group called the Proud Boys, numbering in the thousands, stormed the US capital. In my opinion, this was the very 1st time there was not a peaceful transfer of power from the very beginning of this country. Most of these pictures are from the Internet, but the 1st 2 after these words are from both my TV and Shana's TV.

Look at them breaking windows while overwhelmed law enforcement tries to defend themselves!

The guy in the middle is probably the most famous of the rioters. Get ready for JAIL!

Here is a guy who made it all the way into Nancy Pelosi's office!

My Cousin, Eric, is Famous! His TV Show, Amazing Space

So proud of Eric and his show where, as a contractor, he goes into old homes and renovates hidden spaces into useful spaces! The show is aptly named Amazing Space .  Eric is Oma's (Claire's) sister's (Ree's) son.

Some January Joy's 2021

Annie decided to share some games with me (like Niko Atsume in the pic below)! Yay! AND some photos from 2018 give me hope.

Niagara Falls in January Long Ago :-D 2021

Two of my favorite funny pics of all time! Above is Niagara Falls when we visited Great Grandma Betty for her 90th birthday and, because I am all about "expriences," I decided to take the girls to see the Falls in a blizzard. :-D Annie was NOT having it! Leia is always a sport!

And below was at the Immaculata Christmas Program one year when, afterward, Ethan surprised Annie by putting his arm around her for a picture. PRICELESS!
