Most holidays with a granddaughter on the other side of the world are rough for me. (Her dad is a Marine, and I'm a helicopter mom/mamaw), but it's Christmas Eve night in Okinawa Japan right now. I just woke up to texts and snaps from several Marines at my granddaughters house,

Ok, but can we NOT take Chicago? I love my Cubs, but we don't need more crime to be credited to Indiana.

Sad to report that my TikTok just went down.

You never know when you will be in the right place at the right time. Proud of these window cleaners in the UK. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

What an amazing tribute to someone gone far too soon.
