Good Morning From Maine- Still part of the USA. Clouds and Rain suggested by weather people for next 4 days.

 Deb L's Thread Ghosts.  I love everything about the things DebL makes.

So......Politics As Usual- Making Good Decisions is A Thing of The Past

Living in Maine is really nice right now- except for (spineless) Susan Collins--- We are so FAR AWAY from everything that we hardly notice the weirdness. (and we have eggs now)  Canada might adopt us. Or Trump might sell Maine to Canada.  Might be nice.  Hydro  Power....from the Canadian Border to US. And as a bonus really good French bread and Croissants.

I got Two Danielle Steel this week. At the Library and Two Susan Wiggs.  Better than smacking my head on the wall.  Still reading a book from my own bookcase- Summer Romance by Monaghan. She wrote my favorite book Nora Goes Off Script.  I read  Nora Goes Off Script and then go back to page one and read it again- Every Single Time.  Sometimes two or THREE times. I had to look up "Ship the Waitress"

I also picked up When Grumpy Met Sunshine.  Grumpy Guy.  Forget what sport he plays. Hockey.  I loved it the first two times....When you write a Grumpy Guy just right- it's the BEST.  Soulmate Equation had a Real Grump.  Love that book.  Center's Bodyguard and then Rom-Commers- had grumpy guys. I have them in the bookcase.

New software is being installed later tonight.. macOS Sequoia 15.41......son says this is why we got the new Mac- so we could download upgrades.  Old Mac could NOT.  Old Joanne finds it difficult to down load NEW INFO as well. But you can't buy a new Joanne at the Mall....yet.

Got nothing else to say....going to toast a Cinnamon Raisin Bagel and make a fresh cup of Tea.  I'm out of instant decaf coffee....daughter never bought me any- she is very busy at work.  Everyone where she is wants everything DONE right away.... Well, I need to make a second cup of tea and see if I actually took my pills this morning.....I think I did NOT.

I now have fresh raspberries for my yogurt and frozen ones...to add to my yogurt and Bran Buds. I also have stalks of rhubarb....which I might chop up and add sugar and cook down into a mush and then let get cold and eat with strawberries on yogurt.  Or make a tiny strawberry rhubarb TART.  Not a PIE- not enough rhubarb for a pie.  I love the stuff....so sour and yet so perfect.... Like Grumpy Joanne... Sour, Tart and yet Sweet (for of)
