Sutton

Nice visit to Suttons Bay earlier in the week.  Climate was lovely and it was relaxing as always.  Little person  Dillan took a shine to me and we sat together during each breakfast, her eating my strawberries and looking at pictures on my phone.  Took a side trip to Grand Rapids to see my grandsons Paxton and Everett (pictured).

Paxton is quite proud of himself riding a two wheeler without training wheels at 5, excited to start kindergarten in the fall.  We bought strawberries fresh picked and most were consumed by the time we left.  The boys loved them.

Our hosts were gracious and welcoming and the food was outstanding at Korner Kabin B&B.  Never needed the AC because the temps were in the 50's at night.  This town continues to be the most laid back place we have found.  Hope to return in the fall.

Marie, Judy and I saw the finale of Stranger Things yesterday afternoon.  It was extremely intense and scary.  If you are a fan of the show,  Netflix has all the episodes streaming for season 4.  We were screaming for more and now have to wait for the next go round.  When you complete a series like this, replacing it with something else is near impossible.  But alas, we will move on. 

With the recent SCOTUS rulings,  personal liberties are under attack and in some manner, eliminated.

More than one half of our citizens have been stripped of the sovereignty of their own bodies.  If your religious beliefs hold that abortion is wrong, so be it.  Such beliefs should not be part of our legal system.  We are not a theocracy.  I think of my daughter, grand daughter and their daughters, even the little one shown above at a year and a half. They might not know it, but their world has changed.  We used to have legislators that would vote on bills which may or may not end up on the President's desk for signature.  Now, we are under the rule of six conservative judges that will not grant rights, but remove them.  This is truly a sorry state of affairs.

We watched nearly all of the Late Show w Stephen Colbert since its inception.  When the former president was in power, he and they had lots of material to make us chuckle.  Now,I am beyond pissed that he  and his writers have made light of the recent decisions by the high court.  There is nothing funny about the removal of citizen's rights and more recently powers removed from the EPA.   I am also sick of the jokes about body parts.  Dick jokes are not funny anymore.  All the double entendres don't work.  The biggest sin a comedian can commit is to not be funny.  The last show that was worthy was with Woodward and Bernstein.
