Nice compilation, Budi!

I’m so excited about the incoming team! Lordy, Lordy what a relief! Our latest “long national nightmare” is soon over!

Just counting' the days til he's GONE!

And good riddance! Since it’s now after midnight on the 30th, that means it’s now 51 days til POTUS Joe!

We're having a quiet Christmas by ourselves this year, under COVID precautions.

There’ll likely be a Zoom or two, or more. But no frills. I usually decorate, because I like it, and most of what we’ve got has been hand-made over the years. But this year not so much, because we have a cat that gets INTO everything and ONTO everything. Literally nothing is safe! So kind of no-frills this year. Less work! And no cooking unless we feel like it. But there WILL be chocolate.

And we’ll probably just stay in our pajamas all day!

I’m actually looking forward to it! Might do some crafting while I’m at it.

Sounds good to me! Used to watch them lumbering across the back yard.

We had an apricot tree back there. One late afternoon when it was starting to get dark, I was picking apricots and noticed a big fat raccoon on the other side of the tree, availing itself of apricots. We both stopped “working” for a moment and looked at each other. Neither of us made a move. Then it felt as though we’d both sized each other up, decided there was no hostile or threatening behavior manifesting, and we each slowly resumed “working”. And we worked that tree for several minutes, across from each other until the raccoon evidently satisfied his appetite and slowly wandered away.

It was the coolest little “encounter”!

You're DONE, donald. Finished. Over. Pass.

“In the rear view mirror,” as I heard one pundit say.

And 80-some million of us couldn’t be more thrilled!!!
