As I wait in the Tanglewood Music Center parking lot I write. Glad I have something to do as it will be at least another hour to get out of the lot. It also took me 40 minutes to find Gina, my car. 🚗 Some things never change. It was the same deal when I went to a Renee Fleming concert here 10 years ago.

This overnight trip came at an opportune time post Joe’s 90 minute misadventure with the rapist. Today I understand he’s back to normal, and on the campaign trail according to my son in law who knew I was devastated by the debate.

🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

Maybe they gave him a shot of vitamin C to perk him up, and if so they should have done so before the debate.

Today I started by day in prayer and lighting candles for Joe at the Divine Mercy Center in West Stockbridge. It was a perfect day weather wise.

☀️☀️☀️☀️

And while I left the church after the unsupreme court decision which the church had their fingerprints all over, I still pray. Some habits never go away, however I limit any contributions as I know where it goes..

💵💵💵💵💵⛪️⛪️⛪️⛪️⛪️💵💵💵💵💵💵All that said some pictures of this beautiful and serene place where I was the only white person there. It seems like Latinos, Asians, Phillipinos, and Africans, are the only folks involved with this church. And while I may sound crass they aren’t givers as they don’t have it. Maybe the old white folks will caddy up in their wills to keep these places afloat.

🛟🛟🛟🛟🛟🛟

What was that called, indulgences for heaven.?

☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️

Ah yes the pictures, I digress…

And let’s close with some of the stellar flowers on the grounds.

Well, if tonight’s debate is any indication of our country’s future guess we’re really in trouble.

Joe was off course and rambling, not making sense at some points. Then there is the rapist. He was bold and a liar as usual.

Oh well, we have 4 months left, shall see.

Off to bed and am assured a nightmare.

Aren’t you?

We’re in the 24 hour countdown to the debate. So while the rapist prez is out there spewing his lies, and denying he’s prepping for this affair, what is my favorite guy, Joe Biden, doing, or what should he be doing?

I have some ideas..

• Dye his hair to look younger, wouldn’t that be a shocker??
• Wear a trendy khaki suit with a mascot.
• Add blinking lights to his aviator sunglasses and have him wear them as he enters the stage.
• Get a manicure, pedicure, and a foot massage to loosen up those stiff feet.
• For energizing – some wild and crazy sex with Jill.
• Plaster the podium with Biden Harris signs.
• Bring Commander for protection, ready to bite the competition.
• And of course, last but not least, make sure he has an ice cream cone before the debate!

Came to Saratoga for a chamber music concert, however, since I was a little early decided to visit the Saratoga auto museum on the grounds of the state park. This building was once the bottling plant for the Saratoga waters.

There are only a handful of other colored Ferrari’s in the world 🌎 and this collection had one on loan.

The volunteer docents are well versed in car info and fascinating guided tours are given. Call for times.

Racing cars 🏎️ were also on display.

And for the younger set, go carts..

One last bonus..

A Woodstock bus.

And finally the reason for the journey..

The ending of a perfect day!

After Yaddo walked one of the most beautiful streets in America. These gorgeous dames hail from the 1860’s on. What a delightful walk while eating a Stewart’s ice cream cone.

🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦

Here are many as I couldn’t resist the photos.

The National Racing Museum is also on this avenue..

Then round the corner the grandest of all the homes, The Batchelor’s Mansion (excuse the misspelling). You really need to see it in person to appreciate her.

Then across the street the Park where the Canfield Casino resides.,

The Casino

Here one can partake of the famous geyser waters..

What a perfect day!

This was the Saratoga home of the Spencer Trask family. Spencer was a financier, philanthropist, and devoted Saratoga resident.

Fun Fact: While Trask strongly opposed gambling his home resides a stones throw from the famous racetrack.

The home is now an artist’s colony.

Oh, what a lucky artist to get an invite here!

🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

However, us normal folk may visit the gardens daily from 10 to 2, free.

The Pond

This area welcomes you as you enter the grounds. A precursor of the beauty to arrive.

What a romantic spot.❤️

The Paths

The Rose Garden and fountains

Trask developed the rose garden for his wife

The Statutes

Interesting..

What an absolutely perfect day for this visit

Haven’t been to Albany in quite some time so decided to stop on my way to Saratoga. Little has changed am pleased to report.

Have you returned to where it all began?

Glad those who purchased the place are maintaining it. While I have memories growing up in a dysfunctional family, it is what it is. I’ve bought several therapists couches in my years of therapy and grateful neurofeedback has provided solace in my later years.

This is the church I attended which is now Korean Catholic. Was unaware of this sect and once again no changes. Surprising!

When my mother’s ancestors came from Germany they bought land 10 acres in what is now Colonie, New York. They farmed the land and when the 1930s came through and the mean had died off they received an offer of $10,000 fit 10 acres and grabbed it.

💰💰💰💰💰💰

However, the buyer knew what they were doing as they turned over the property the following year splitting into plots of $10,000 per acre.

My grade school now a Jewish grade school

Well enough of me, on to Saratoga!

Do you think Glenda the good witch could help?

🪄🧙🪄🧙🪄🧙🪄

However, it doesn’t look 👀 promising as I recently read fl real estate is taking a dive.

Oh well, at least I have a job now to pay for two houses,

🏘️🏘️🏘️🏘️🏘️

and one I actually feel safe at!

Wonder which one?

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

But all that aside.. am looking forward to the debate next Thursday. Joe is squirreled away at Camp David practicing while the rapist is doing nothing to prepare. Kind of like he did as president? What a fraud, and we even had a legal case which proves that!

👨‍⚖️👨‍⚖️👨‍⚖️👨‍⚖️👨‍⚖️

Can’t wait to see how the rapist reacts when he is muted. Actually looking forward to it. Am sure he will cry foul and without his followers how will he get pumped up???

⛽️⛽️⛽️⛽️⛽️

Only 5 days till the big day!

So who is tim mellon, and what kind of an a-shole is he? From a wealthy family who wants to ensure their fortunes of 14.1 billion so they don’t have to pay taxes. A pirate, stealing from all us little folk.

The rapist is promising his “friends” their fortunes ensured with his tax laws should he be elected.

It’s always about money.

What an interesting combo. Took them 24 years to get together. And while some think it was to share nucs in an attempt to control the 🌎 I have another idea.

💪💪💪💪

I think putin stopped by to help jong un with his exercise program in an effort to have him get in shape..

🏋️🏋️🏋️🏋️🏋️🏋️🏋️

And besides the exercise routine putin also introduced the dictator to ozempic from the russian black market to ensure quick weight loss.

💊💊💊💊💊

So when putin visits next believe he’ll work on a fashion make over for the dictator’s new bod.

🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺

In consultation with another fashion icon authoritarian and rapist prez he’ll be having jong un drop the drab gray uniform. Instead the rapist will have his friend go with a western style suit and the signature elongated tie to hide belly fat.

👔👔👔👔👔

With the final touch a comb over.

🤵‍♂️🤵‍♂️🤵‍♂️🤵‍♂️🤵‍♂️

And perhaps some blonde highlights.
