From the Files - 4

This is an occasional posting to savor the moments from past travels.

Walking in Cotswolds in 2014.

Pubs for lunch were our routine.


I know you see Dan in the photo above, but can you see me?

Whirlwind visits

Granddaughter has been with us since Friday morning. 

At 20 months she knows where all the toys and books are kept.

She's learned how to open our door handles so closing off rooms to her doesn't work any more.

Thankfully she sleeps 10 hours at night and we almost do the same.  We do nap when she does, to gather our strength.

She's a doll.


Sorry no direct front views at her mom's request.

Update on Pete Buttigieg

In order for Mayor Pete to get on the stage at the Democratic debates he needs 65,000 donors. 

I really think he needs to be heard on the national stage.  

Would you consider donating $3 to his Exploratory Committee so he will get there?  His last tweet said he was 85% there.  I just donated $3!


It's early in the campaign I know, but such a well reasoned voice needs to be heard by more people.

2020 Campaign

It's early and there are lots of candidates but this one's message and forward thinking has caught my attention.

You may want to check him out too.



Here's his website.

CNN has lots of clips from a recent town hall meeting.

Finally Jennifer Rubin in the Washington Post wrote this column about him. Read it here.
