Day 10.

WonderWoman and her really good friend, Tina, got up early this morning to go to the Nordstrom sale. It was for VIP's only and guess they are. 

Tina & WW

Champagne, foods, gift bag and shopping, they had a lot of fun. I slept in, then worked on the blog. Around 4 pm we got rain, a monsoon passed through and I was in heaven. I tried to take pictures, but it's hard to capture the rain!

WW hugged Duke ho was not thrilled with rain and thunder.

I discovered Artist Playing Cards, and thought I'd share. In this deck of premium playing cards, the vibrant world of Keith Haring comes alive as  his iconic figures dance and play, captivating a sense of joy.

Whether you're an art enthusiast, a card game fanatic, or simply seeking a unique gift, elevate each experience while paying homage to one of the most influential artists of our time. 

“Art should be something that liberates your soul, provokes the imagination, and encourages people to go further.”- Keith Haring

Day 9

Cooler today, maybe some rain? I forgot to mention that Sumo started last Sunday and will run through July 26th, Tuesday was day 3 and the highlights are shown four times a day on NHK Japanese network. I just discovered Ted Lasso last night. WW & SM played the entire first season for me, and I loved it. I don't have extra pay channels, so it's not available at home. And, I am 3/4 through Nightingale which is another really great book. I am on a roll! Speaking of books ...

 

Today marks the 66th anniversary of Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" (1960) (one of my very most favorites for years) -- a novel containing truths so universal that they bear repeating in 2022...  

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view … Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”

“I wanted you to see what real courage is ... It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.”

"People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for."

"The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience."

"Sometimes the Bible in the hand of one man is worse than a whisky bottle in the hand of another ... There are just some kind of men who -- who're so busy worrying about the next world they've never learned to live in this one, and you can look down the street and see the results."

Greater Sage-Grouse

One of North America's iconic grassland birds, thriving across the wild sagebrush plains. The Greater Sage-Grouse is the largest grouse in North America. It lives in the sagebrush landscapes of the western United States and parts of Canada, where its spectacular courtship displays make it a truly remarkable bird. 

Scientific Name: Centrocercus urophasianus
