USA!USA!USA! 🏀What a comeback!!

Me, to self: “Quit looking down as you walk, Vic! Head up! Posture!” Me, about 20 yds later, JUST missing stepping on this: “Idiot. Ok…occasional glances down.”

C’MON USA!! Buckle down!!

“Whatcha lookin’ at, Lady? Get that phone outta my face.”

To everyone heading back to school this week - bless you teachers & ALL school personnel! It’s not for the faint of heart & is more demanding than ever, no matter your role in the lives of young people! May this school year be safe, supportive, & satisfying for students & staff❤️

Errands day in Ames. Drove through campus town & played “Spot the Freshmen” - didn’t tabulate my whole score & no way to prove it, but pretty sure I was in the 95% correct range. Also treated myself to Sift n Sprinkle macarons from Cook’s Emporium! Delightful, as usual!

Forgot to tag Alisa Who? !! Giiiirl - I dunno HOW you are a magician with flavors, but - mwah!😘

This is awesome! First day of school on a Friday & this is what’s happening in households everywhere as kids are getting on buses or dropped off at school😂:

Watching the stories of US athletes participating in the Paralympics from a completely different perspective this time around😭 So INSPIRING & POSITIVE…something we all need right now!

Got back from a dinner/free bar 🍷meeting & tuning into the Buffs at halftime…Ope.

Colorado is our new 🤘🏼👇🏼 now, isn’t it…

That missed 2-pt conversion looming large now

Dang, Bison…

Oh HECK YEAH!!

D has some work to do…🤦🏻‍♀️

Happy End of Summer, y’all! (Yes, I know it’s not “official”)

Love sitting on this boulder in my yard, still warm from the day, at sunset. A perfect evening in a new FB season to kick off Hate Week. Go Cyclones!

Reading while my car is being serviced &, after just the 1st chapter, it’s all I can do to NOT raise a fist in the air & yell, “Oh, HE🏒🏒 YEAH!!” Gosh, 1930’s backwoods misogyny & fear of books/knowledge…who knew it’d still be a thing nearly a century later?🤨🤦🏻‍♀️

“Thinking Rock” time again. A lot to meditate on today.

I’ve read this about 3 times & am so pumped for Iowa State Wrestling to start!
