anyway if any gentile feels like adding their two cents to the conversation of how marvel studios is wilfully endangering the jewish community by platforming this deadly antisemitic conspiracy and turning it into a "paranoid thriller" i invite you to read posts from jewish people during the Colleyville synagogue hostage crisis
all of them, even the most upsetting ones, the most honestly and gutting ones, truly absorb the fear we live in every time we are visibly identifiable as jewish or when we are in jewish spaces, how people logged on after observing shabbat to find out that once again a jewish place of worship was under attack, the amount of thought we have to put into making it out alive and saving others if it ever happens to our community
learn about how these notions of jews controlling the world led the gunman to intentionally choose a synagogue to make his demands, how this has lead directly to the murders of jewish people many times before
listen to jewish people instead of always assuming there is some hidden ulterior motive behind us speaking out on antisemitism

Colleyville, TX to Tucson, AZ
We left Colleyville at the crack of dawn yesterday, spent last night in El Paso. We left El Paso at a snail's pace, due to road closures for construction! Ugh!
Pretty skies in El Paso, but we were happy to put El Paso in our rear view mirror!
We arrived in Tucson, took a nice nap, and made it over to a happy hour with friends in the park - glad to be off the road for a bit.

Family Time - Colleyville, TX
We arrived in Colleyville on the 17th, both my younger sisters and their families are in the area, as well as my folks - lots of people to hang out with. Unfortunately, I am TERRIBLE about getting pictures when we are all together, so I didn't get one of all of us on Thanksgiving (maybe next time).
Doug surprised me for our anniversary - our kids drove down from Denver - what a great surprise that was. Plus, they got to see their grandparents and a bunch of cousins, aunts, and uncles. Dan hadn't been to Texas in 14 years! It was really nice having them here.
Birthday celebration for my niece, Shelby, and my brother-in-law, Ronnie on Tuesday the 21st.
Thanksgiving cookies - my sister, Julie, is so clever!
I managed to get a picture of the table....but, not of anything else on Thanksgiving. Total failure!
I think Buddy might have had too much turkey and pie - what a personality this dog has!
A little champagne to toast our 40th anniversary!
Oh, wait, I do have a couple of pictures with PEOPLE in them:
Dan and Juniper.
Eric and Dan, you can tell they are related!
Julie and Juniper.
Rachel, Grandma Sally, Grandpa Dick, Dan, Doug, and myself - it has been a long, long time since the six of us have been together.
We had a great time - we played pickle ball, cards, and just enjoyed hanging out together. Thanks to everyone for taking such good care of us!
