Oops, did you mean for the “beloved stroller” link to take us to Nortstrom’s?
Ha! I did, but I had the wrong link. Updated!
But wait – how did James get the grill off to clean it? I think we have the same ancient fan! And I can’t for the life of me work out how to clean it.

It’s a nice idea that a woman president would necessarily do the right things, but experience here in the UK has twice proven otherwise, unfortunately. In a leader, ideology and policy mean a whole lot more than any simple identifier.
yes, of course. in this case, faith ringgold is referencing the particular women candidates in the us and i thought it such a poignant sentiment from an 88-year-old reflecting on what she hopes for in the future.
