dual personalities

Well, happy Wednesday, readers. I do not have a lot this week–my mother already covered my exciting weekend adventure. On Sunday (thru Tuesday), I’ll be up in Columbia for the Unclaimed Property Auction. Not going to lie, I’m pretty excited to see this.

Check out what passes for a clever headline in the capital city newspaper. I mean, talk about a news flash. Sometimes, I really think I am becoming the facepalm emoji.

In other exciting news, check out the fog over the river I spotted this morning on the way to work.

I am also on the hunt for cute Christmas fabric to make a dress for sweet Katiebelle. I’ve hit the minimal options in Jefferson City and have been pretty uninspired.

Finally, I finished John Adams, and I’ve moved on to reading about Theodore Roosevelt’s childhood. McCullough makes the case that Adams was one of the most important figures in early American history but who doesn’t get much credit for everything he did. His critics painted him as vain and emotional and that’s how history has remembered him. As an old man, in a letter to his son John Quincy, Adams wrote, “Rejoice always in all events, be thankful always for all things is a hard precept for human nature, and in my religion a perfect duty.” He wasn’t wrong. A good reminder for the middle of the week.
