HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY!!! AGAIN!!!

     Happy Groundhog Day!

     Now 2026!  

     I started Sadie's Gathering, Another Day in Paradise, 13 years ago! 

    So, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow... this morning, today, this year... so we have six weeks more of winter¯\_(ツ)_/¯  

     To me, (whatevah you wanna call the PTB (Power That Be) It is Mother Nature's decision... so who knows what the daisies the weather will be like ...😂😁😉

     Hope you have a great year... regardless of the weather!!! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  

     If I make $ via my Sadie's Gathering, I'd be able to write a lot more🙏 ...though we all just have 24hrs/day... 

     So, if you spend time here, enjoy the eclectic posts, photos, recipes, and more... please just contribute/pay, a bit... I've had friends pay $5, $2, $75, $10 which I was so pleased with! 

     In 2015, I'd seen an author, Anne-Marie Slaughter, on Real Time, Bill Maher's show!  

     Anne-Marie Slaughter was the first woman who served as the Director of Policy Planning, during the Obama Administration.  

     Then... Anne-Marie Slaughter, needed to resign...all got fixed, then she wrote a great book:  Unfinished Business!

      Which is a great book!  I read it, then emailed Anne Marie Slaughter, then... I was stunned and thrilled when I found she'd  Donated/given $150!!!  

     I included Ms. Slaughter, in a paragraph of my favorite writers, when I wrote Return to Renaissance , in November of 2025... still wish that would be every day every where!!!  So many reasons, I think the Renaissance should be everywhere, every day... also, shared great musicians, and photos I've taken Read it!!!😊

     Needless to say... after I hoped to not have to find another job to pay my bills ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ since I've been writing since I was very young and then got a degree in Journalism... so...   

     I still keep my hopes going!!!  Which I think every human should! 

     Which is why I wrote the most recents...Happy New Year, Return to Renaissance, which have so many with photos I've taken, cartoons, my husband did, & more!  

     I'll do all I can to keep as many hopes, for as many humans as I can!!!

     Take good care!   

     Happy 2026! 

I drew this in 2013😁 One of  just a few (2) cartoons I drew  (<tap to read)
Most are by my darling husband, Davis Jaye!  Over on the left, are, THE CARTOONS;
 You'll see his cartoons!!!  Most have links to my posts😉
There may be the Sensitive Content Warning, just tap the left orange bit, 
I UNDERSTAND AND I WISH TO CONTINUE 

     All the writing, drawing, linking, etc, is why I'd greatly appreciate $ contributions.  Please use the   up on the upper right side! 

     As I worked on it earlier to add it to the posts, and initially it seem like it would be working on each post, but now it does not. 

     Enjoy as much as you can with your loved ones!!! 

     Good ol' Phil saw his shadow this morning! So six more weeks of winter!
