Homeschool grandma. Sometimes I’m funny. 😄
Sourdough, chickens, garden… the whole shebang.

@Rainmaker1973 We took a family trip to see the Liberty Bell. Back in the day, you were able to touch it. Wonderful memories!

A few blocks away, we saw a group of men dismantling a car and running away with the parts.

Philadelphia was an exciting city.

My dad sang all the time. Once he was driving with me &my sisters in tow.The radio played one of his songs.We thought it was HIS song. Stolen! We all bawled at the injustice. Dad had no clue why we were crying. He turned the car around.Drove home. He told mom “they’re all yours.”

Great movie!

[The Palangi Kalani🙏 @TimoteoMitchell]

I loved this movie and highly recommend it. Do yourself a favor and watch it.

[ABarrNC @barr_nc]

@CastleKeeperCat Great movie! 🍿 I find myself wanting to read Washington’s writings.

It’s hard to think about the fighting style of the time. Let’s line up in our bright colors and shoot each other. (Shudders in American)

The dogs are growling at the chimney.
Mr. sees a large beetle and catches it. Mr. now has naming rights.

The beetle is now called Benny and was released into
the wild.

Dogs are disappointed.

If you have a child born between 1/1/25 - 12/31/28 and don’t take the 5-10 minutes to open one of these accounts you are a lazy moron.

*This is not investment advice. I like to call people lazy and stupid. Consult your mother if your feelings are hurt for more than four hours.

Had a wonderful day. Family cookout & won at canasta.
As we were cleaning up, husband said,”why is Elmer’s glue on the carpet?”

Dogs. No idea how they got a bottle of glue. Chewed it to smithereens.

It’s past my bedtime. I am prying up glue with vinegar, a knife & a fork.

His grandson is 16. Lifeguards at the community pool.

Makes $4,200 a year.

His grandfather wrote him a check for $4,200 last month.

The kid assumed it was for his car fund.

His grandfather told him no. Open a Roth IRA. Put it all in. The check is the contribution, not the spending money.

Roth IRAs require earned income. If a kid has a W-2, anyone in the family can fund the Roth up to what they earned. He earned $4,200. He can shelter $4,200.

If that money compounds at 8% for 50 years, untouched, it becomes about $197,000. Tax free at withdrawal. Forever.

His grandfather plans to do this every year his grandson keeps working.

By 22 he'll have a Roth worth more than most adults his age will see in their first decade of retirement saving.

The greatest gift to give a teenager isn't a car. It's 50 years of tax free compounding.

@FoxNews Your bobble heads are talking again. Concert is ongoing in the background. We are going to bed. Jeez.

[ABarrNC @barr_nc]

@FoxNews Since you talked over most of the show… does anybody know if there will be a dvd?

[ABarrNC @barr_nc]

Guys! Are you watching this? The fireworks are amazing. So America!

[Dave Danna @DaveEDanna]

Those treasury department Trump savings accounts for newborn babies were real and the $1,000 was deposited on the Fourth of July!

That was an unexpected part of the America 250 celebration 🎉🤠

Apparently people can contribute to a baby’s account, to be clear I don’t know any details about it but here’s the link, this is invested automatically in the S&P500 and Baby Alvin can use it when he gets older: https://t.co/8oWfw7P7Gb

🚨BREAKING: Several pizzerias near Independence Hall in Philadelphia are surging in activity.

@FoxNews The purpose of putting a concert on television is so people can enjoy it. Why are you talking?

[ABarrNC @barr_nc]

I am so disappointed in the coverage of the concerts tonight. I have tried all of my channels. @Foxnews and others. Please. Stop. Talking. Just. Hush. Let us watch the concerts on stage.

[ABarrNC @barr_nc]

@JonWright_FL I am sure it was beautiful. Maybe a pic next time.

[ABarrNC @barr_nc]

I think that the lack of photographic evidence for Bigfoot may not mean much.

Hear me out. In the past week I have had close encounters with a coyote (brash, in broad daylight), a baby bunny, and a deer.

Photos? Not one.

Daughter (helping to find a lost dog) : “THERE’S MORE!”

“A neighbor’s dog jumped the fence and fell in a pond chasing me.

I nearly stepped on two snakes. I fell in a creek.
I hit my head on a tree branch. There is blood.”

Me: 👀

Her: “And someone else found the dog.”

[ABarrNC @barr_nc]

Early this morning, our teenage daughter texts me to say that a neighbor’s girlfriend’s small dog is loose. Daughter went to help.

My phone rings 3 hours later… Daughter (out of breath)“Mom! I have hiked at least five miles. I demolished 7 spiders homes. Big ones.”

“I trespassed. Construction workers yelled at me.

Me:🤯

@pathfinder342 If I ever see a chupacabra, there will be screaming. Probably no photos.
