The Five

5️⃣

Interesting to hear the five who received letters recently to be assessed as potential Vice Presidential candidates..

  • Josh Shapiro Governor of Pa.
  • Roy Cooper Governor of North Carolina
  • Gretchen Whitmore Governor of Michigan
  • Mark Kelly Senator of Arizona
  • Tim Walz Governor of Minnesota

All are very accomplished folk, and here’s the skinny on each of them..

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Josh – amazing and beloved in Pa. He is positive and anyone who can have a section of I 95 rebuilt in 2 weeks is a wizard, only potential problem he’s Jewish.. However, we have a black female πŸƒ you never know.

Roy Cooper – another beloved character in his state, even getting Medicaid passed recently.

Gretchen Whitmore πŸ’ͺ well spoken, and knows how to get things done. Female health care was her accomplishment along with much more.. people ❀️ to hate her but can’t. However this would be too much estrogen on the ticket..

Mark Kelly – not truly a fan but know he’s been an astronaut, and would be the first VP twin if he made it. Also recall wife who was tragically injured, this is a bonus.

And last but not least, one to watch…

Tim Walz – loved him on Morning Joe this am. What humor, but not well known. Looks old even though under 60. Has done much for the 🎊 party πŸŽ‰. This gray horse may be a stronger candidate than I’m giving credence to. Let’s face it we need some humor in this crazy 🌎, and Kamala loves to laugh.🀭

Drumroll….

My pick. Shapiro.

Second Choice. Walz

Third Choice. Cooper

And beyond that no sense reporting..

We shall see.

The Momentum

Am astounded by the momentum behind Kamala once Joe endorsed her. The money πŸ’° is flowing in faster than it can be counted, as is the endorsements from all party members.

🎈🎊🎊🎈πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰πŸŽˆπŸ₯³πŸŽ‰πŸŽˆπŸŽŠπŸ₯³πŸŽ‰πŸŽˆπŸŽŠ

There is excitement in the air and her #s are already past the rapists!

πŸ›³οΈβ›΄οΈπŸ›³οΈβ›΄οΈπŸ›³οΈπŸš’

πŸ‘€ like everyone is on board to win this one and we are going to do it!

πŸ₯‡πŸ₯ˆπŸ†πŸ₯‡πŸ…πŸŽ–οΈπŸ†πŸ₯‡πŸŽ–οΈπŸ…πŸ₯‡πŸ†

First woman president and isn’t it time.

Joe’s Out…the media won

Is gone..

Words cannot express my remorse over this.

πŸ’°πŸ’°πŸ’°πŸ’°πŸ’°πŸ€‘πŸ€‘πŸ€‘πŸ€‘πŸ’°πŸ’°πŸ’°πŸ’°πŸ’°

I backed him till the end, but understand with lack of billionaire donors, he had no chance.

And leaving with honor for the good of the country is all he had left, regretfully after 50 years of service.

As Mika from Morning Joe stated,

β€œYou don’t know what you had till it’s gone.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

However, being raised by an Irish Catholic bastard of a father. I know the wrath Joe will ensue with his last four months.

πŸ§“πŸ§“πŸ§“πŸ§“πŸ§“πŸ§“

He will change the entire country and all those conservative whites of the despot party won’t have a clue on how to bring it back.

🍾πŸ₯‚πŸΎπŸ₯‚πŸΎπŸ₯‚πŸΎπŸ₯‚πŸΎ

So, let me raise a glass to Joe.

For an exceptional job of 50 years!

And I know the next 4 months will be the busiest of all.

I want to end this with my favorite picture of Joe

Wishing you many happy years with your beloved family.

Job well done.

I love you, man❀️

Tree Day

πŸŒ΄πŸŒ²πŸŽ„πŸŒ³πŸŒ²πŸŽ„πŸŒ΄

Today I am having over 40 trees removed from my property. I have said goodbye to each one of them individually. However, οΏΌ they need to go as they are badly diseased and could fall on the cabin breaking it in two.

Auntie Google says these trees could be more than 150 years old.

Amazing what these trees lived through..

  • Women’s right to vote
  • Two World Wars
  • The invention of the automobile
  • The invention of television
  • Computers

Gosh, am getting sentimental for these giants.

But, need someplace to live more.

πŸŒ΄πŸŽ„πŸŒ²πŸŒ³πŸŒ²πŸŽ„πŸŒ΄πŸŒ³πŸŒ³πŸŒ²πŸŽ„πŸŒ΄πŸŒ³πŸŒ²

Above is a posthumous tribute to my trees. Here is what I returned to see from my 30 hour journey.

This became a 3 day project. More photos.,

The Chipper
Tree Climbing

Ready for chipping.,

To the paper mill
More in process

Look who came to investigate the morning after. So curious πŸ‘€ 12 of them exploring the property. Wonder what they thought? Oh, if they could only speak..

And for all those tree huggers cringing at this site have no fear I have plans for beautiful and healthy growth for the property.

Can’t Sleep

I am so upset about the treatment of Joe Biden.

One bad debate and the dems are throwing in the towel on this man.

Have they looked at the other side?

The man is a rapist, felon, and crook yet they made him out to be a god this week in Milwaukee.,

What is the matter with the dems?

It’s time to band together and bring this one home,

🏑🏠🏑🏠🏑🏠🏑🏠🏑🏠🏑🏠🏠🏑🏠🏑

And Joe can do it!

I’m riding with Biden.

three guys from Staten Island made good…

Volunteered at Bethel this evening and after duties was allowed to view the show. Since I only get CBS plus haven’t seen these guys in quite some time but decided to stay and view the show.

These three boyhood friends of 40 years can certainly entertain and did so for over an hour. They have 11 seasons in the can and now are branching out across the pond to London with their humor. I wish them well.

Their audience, is diverse with all shapes, sizes, and colors in attendance. While they are bizarre, the 3500 audience was enthralled on this pristine night.

Check them out for a laugh.

Final Stop on the 30 Hour Journey

While at the Staatsburgh property the docent mentioned the family was buried in St James Church Cemetery, Hyde Park, which I knew to be the Roosevelt family’s church.

Have always wanted to stop and today was the day.

While the church was closed explored the famous cemetery which a local Boy Scout troop memorialized.

Here are some of the famous interred here.

Administer of George Washington’s oath
His tomb
A fireman who died in 9/11
Roosevelt family members
Roosevelt’s mother

One of his sons

The Bard Family Descendants

A Blackman who was a church rector

Quite an interesting visit and walk through history. For all those cemetery buffs a definite must see..

Vanderbilt Mansion

Passed by the Vanderbilt Mansion on my return home and did a uturn. Glad I did as the evening grounds at the Vanderbilt are beautiful and serene. While dog walkers abound, all are friendly.

Take a gander with me.

The view
Goats are present on the high hills to keep the vegetation organically mowed.

The Gardens

The Vanderbilt’s certainly knew how to live.

Rhinebeck

Beekman Arms

Stopped in Rhinebeck on my way to other destinations. Ate at the famous Beekman Arms where George Washington was known to have stayed. The lunch was delicious and reasonably priced.


Here’s George
The Solarium

After this took a walk through town..

Some gorgeous Gothic homes which are now bed and breakfasts.

Church conversion to a restaurant

What beautiful flowers are growing in this community.

Some other things to do in the area. Also, the Walkway Over the Hudson is not far from here as well as FDRs home Hyde Park, and his cousin’s home Wilderstein,

And a final goodbye to Rhinebeck
