Since I was in London, decided to re-create vintage pix of my English mom. #HydePark #WWII

Contrary to fake news posts, I am not the surprise guest at the DNC tonight. My guess is that it will be Beyoncé or Taylor Swift. So disappointing, I know!

@AmyDuvallski83 @ElieNYC Hubby and I are leaving the Chicago area on 9/4 for a two-day drive to Boston. 👍😁

@Hippie_Grannie @debraalv @SweetFnLucifer It took me a second but the crowd’s response confirmed my suspicion. 😁

LOVE THIS!!! The DNC is projecting “Project 2025 HQ” on Trump’s building in Chicago the night before the convention. This is too good! Trump will be furious!

@kindofsquishy @svantewahlqvist This Baby Boomer is v impressed with the tech skills deployed to pull off these presentations. 👏😆

@catllc @JoyceWhiteVance I’d like to commit this to memory and offer it up opportune moments. But I have a hard time memorizing a seven-digit verification code, so I’ll just express my admiration and move on.

[Heidi Stevens @HeidiStevens13]

Just try to be bored in Chicago I dare you ❤️

@EsotericCD This one became an inside joke with our family. To this day, whenever someone tries to open a door the wrong way, they’re likely to hear: “School for the gifted.”

It was like watching a live painting last night over Lake Michigan. #northernlights #auroraborealis

@NatlParkService In 1990 in the Chicago suburbs, my husband had to climb under our deck to check something (don’t recall what). I was standing right above him on the deck as he tried to tell me something. Couldn’t hear a word over the cicadas’ screeching.

[Denise Joyce @DeniseBJoyce]

Sounds cathartic.

[National Park Service @NatlParkService]

Thinking about joining the cicadas this summer and just screaming for six weeks straight. You?

@RexHuppke I live right by a high school. When I was still working and had to catch a 7:40 train, I would never have made that train if I had to back out into my street. So…always backed into the garage so I could pull straight out.

Southeast Missouri farmland at the moment of totality: dusky dark, chilly, robins and red-winged blackbirds silenced. Then it all returned: light, warmth, birdsong. #pathoftotality #solareclipse
