The election didn't go the way that I was hoping but did go the way that I expected. Our fragile democracy continues on--only because the big bully got his way and won. The changes that are coming will hurt many of the people who voted for the president-elect, but it will take time for that recognition to kick in. Laughter is my medicine; watching the Daily Show's commentary on YouTube has helped me to keep moving on.
The cruise was a great success. My mother loved every part of it, and we enjoyed being able to share that time with her.

We are back to a Wisconsin gray November. We've already completed some projects to get the house ready to sell in the spring. We also have started sorting through what we will be taking to Colorado after we move. We won't do any serious home searching until after our current one is sold.

Welcome back. You didn't miss anything. Oh wait, there was an election mess and filling up the clown car.
Thanks. Wisconsin Republican dairy farmers are already complaining that they will be driven out of business if undocumented workers are deported. There is a guest worker status for some seasonal farm workers but nothing like that exists for dairy farms where cows need to be milked year round, every day. We are certain to live in interesting times.
Same situation with the meat processing plants in Nebraska, including turkeys, chickens, beef and pork. Who knows if that means a shortage of meat or suppliers huge price increases. If there are tariffs on agricultural equipment (i.e. John Deere from Mexico) farmers will being paying much more also. Obviously, voters put that out of their minds.
Welcome back! It sounds as if a great time was had by all. Can you share more details? Such as where you went, how you got there?
Good lord!! Being trapped on a floating island with that many people is terrifying! How'd your Mom like it?
Bill,
Methinks you give the voters too much credit. Minds?
