I woke up this morning with the thought of bone soup running through my mind … so, I got up, pulled a frozen packet of 🦃 bone broth from the freezer - heated it up & drank it, with my morning coffee 🥣☕️
{{Bone broth is made by simmering animal bones and connective tissues for an extended period, extracting nutrients such as collagen (the collagen in bone broth is known to improve skin elasticity, hydration, support joint function, & help alleviate joint pain and inflammation: this is especially important for women as they age and experience changes in skin and skeletal health; bone broth can help maintain hydration and electrolytes levels, which is essential for metabolic processes and energy levels, especially for active women), gelatin (which helps restore the gut lining and improve intestinal integrity; this can be particularly beneficial for women experiencing digestive issues), and amino acids}}
Holland could benefit from bone broth, too - but he'd probably prefer beef flavor, so I'll be on the scout for beef bones to cook down 🥩😘 I'm pretty sure I can find them at Matt's Meat Market when we get up north: I'll buy a couple bags, cook them down, and freeze the broth in 1 cup portions.
After my mug of bone broth, and my cup of morning coffee, I went into the bunk room to do some body toning: I started off with a toe-touch stretch:
Star Stretch Toe Touch Exercise~10–12 reps x2; 2 to 3 days a week.
The Star Stretch Toe Touch exercise is a dynamic, low-impact exercise, that engages multiple muscle groups, focusing on functional flexibility & promoting stability and core strength. It involves standing with feet hip-width apart, arms extended overhead, and hinging at the hips to lower the torso toward the toes. This stretch targets the hamstrings, calves, glutes, and lower back, improving flexibility and enhancing posture.
The safety of the Star Stretch Toe Touch exercise for a 69-year-old woman depends on her overall health and fitness level. If you have vertigo issues, you should avoid this exercise.

I lifted 100 lbs. x3, yesterday (4x 24-ct. cases of bottled water, shifted x3: shopping cart, pickup, house 🏋️♀️) … so, I pressed light, this morning 😉
3-lb weights 1st Set reps & 5-lb weights used for 2nd set reps.
The Darebee Power Pump dumbbell exercises involve lifting the dumbbells to the sides & overhead, engaging the chest, back & arm muscles to promote better balance and symmetry in muscle development. This is a workout designed to build upper body strength and muscle tone - as well as core stability.
It is generally safe for a 69-year-old woman to perform dumbbell exercises, provided she maintains proper form and technique. However, listen to your body - if you feel acute pain, stop.
Curls~12-18 reps x2; Upright Rows~8 reps x2; Lateral Raises~8 reps x2; Shoulder Press~8 reps x2; Bent-over Raises~8 reps x2.
I watched a Steve Hilton interview 💻: I like Steve, and I hope 🙏 he wins the 2026 CA Governor Seat - and hopefully, CA will start repairing the decades-old-disastrous ⚡️ damages 🔥 stoner jerry brown 🤪, crazy nancy pelosi 😵💫, hyenna barking kamala harris 🐕, & totally delusional gavin newscum 💩 have done to effectively destroy what was once a beautiful and prosperous American State. Under unscrupulous demonrat reign 👹, CA has been turned into a 3rd world cesspool with protected terroristic criminal on the loose, tent cities widespread through major cities, and human fecal waste covering city streets and sidewalks. CA has become a hell hole [sanctuary] of lawlessness, and animalistic behavior - encouraged, protected, and preached by wicked leadership embracing a pagan-inspired nirvana where celebrities are worshipped, the tenderloin (child sex) section of cities is shopped & politically promoted (due to leadership perversions & sanctuary state protected ethnic 3rd world religious practices), human babies are murdered wholesale … while dogs and cats are "humanely" protected, pampered, and dressed in baby clothes pushed about in baby strollers by women wearing tee's promoting human baby abortion! It's delusional demonrat insanity on steroids.
I believe Steve, given the chance, can turn things around in CA and change Life for the better, here.
Steve Hilton for CA Governor = I'm cheering for him.

{{Gov candidate Steve Hilton launches CAL DOGE to expose billions in waste, fraud: ‘This is about accountability’
By Josh Koehn~Published Jan. 26, 2026, 1:53 p.m. ET
Republican candidate for California governor Steve Hilton is set to announce Monday plans to launch CAL DOGE in a bold push to root out corruption and expose at least $250 billion in fraud, The Post has learned.
The initiative — modeled after Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, launched last year under President Trump — will take a wrecking ball to the Democrat-led state government, opening up the Golden State’s books, torching bureaucracy and exposing waste and fraud, Hilton told The California Post.
“This is about accountability,” the former Fox News host said. “Californians pay the highest taxes in America and get the worst results. We have the highest poverty, the highest housing costs, the highest energy costs — and a government that cannot account for where the money goes. That is not an accident.”
A key focus of the project will be identifying ways to reduce or eliminate the size and scope of state agencies, roll back bureaucratic and regulatory structures that drive up costs and end redundancy. Hilton has also released policy proposals that, if elected, would include enacting a state hiring freeze, eliminating 50,000 employees and revisiting contracts for 21 public-sector unions.
Hilton — who used Musk’s AI tool Grok to create his CAL DOGE logo — has said he believes fraud in California dwarfs findings in Minnesota.
He blamed Democrats for allowing the state’s bloated budget — Gov. Gavin Newsom announced plans for $348.9 billion in overall spending this month — to grow out of control. California now spends almost $150 billion more than it did before Newsom took office in 2019.
“This is what you get after 16 years of one-party rule,” Hilton said. “Corruption. Fraud. Abuse. A political machine that takes money from working Californians and hands it to political insiders, consultants, and activist front groups. CAL DOGE exists to end that system and replace it with accountability and reform.”
Jenny Rae Le Roux will serve as director of CAL DOGE and will be joined by Michael Koslow, a retired senior military leader and former federal law enforcement agent; Paul Miner, a former Schwarzenegger administration official and regulatory reform attorney; and Amy Reichart, a San Diego activist and GOP official recognized for her work on government accountability and parental rights.
“Fraud is the obvious problem,” said Le Roux, who is also a business owner. “But the root cause of all fraud is a bloated government structure that lacks accountability and creates waste by design. CAL DOGE will expose both and put forward concrete reforms to make government smaller, simpler, and accountable.”
An advisory board will support CAL DOGE, consisting of Rep. Kevin Kiley, former appellate justice Dan Kolkey, state Sen. Tony Strickland, biotech entrepreneur Houman Hemmati, and journalists Katy Grimes and Jennifer Van Laar. The advisory board will offer guidance on proposed reforms and oversee the initiative’s progress.
CAL DOGE will receive tips sent to Califraud.com, a secure whistleblower platform designed to encourage current and former state employees to report fraud, waste and mismanagement without fear of retaliation.

Once we pull stakes, and leave here (March appears to be the month) 🚘⛽️🏔️🗺️, I don't know if we'll be back or not 🤷♀️ Holland said the other day, "When we come back this way in a few months, I think we'll skip CA; the economy is in the tank, everything already high-priced - like gas, groceries, and electricity - will off-the-charts-unaffordable. And with Brenda buried & George going into a nursing home - if he even survives the next 6 months without Brenda to make time to take care of him in his dementia state, this side of the Family Tree has come to the end of an era (100 years in Laton-CA). There's no reason to come back here. We'll go back up to the PNW, take care of business there … and probably hunker down in Quartzsite for the winter months; our bodies just can't do the PNW winter months, anymore. IF we get favored and are able to secure that camper we've been discussing, we may push further into Florida. But whatever happens, we're gonna be bypassing CA altogether."
Bucket List Wish: Slide-in Truck Camper with built in generator.
So.
Recent discussions follow along these lines …
Spring months🐦🌸🌳 in the PNW.
Summer 🌞🌼 & Fall 🍁🍎 months, are a toss up.
Quartzsite-AZ 🌵🌞🌴 & Florida 🌞🌴🌊 are winter month aims.
We both have Bucket List goals 📝 we'd like to accomplish 👌 if the weather starts behaving 🤞; and the wrinkles of Life's unfolding, smoothes out.
We'll see 🤔: Elohim knows best what Life holds for us, and His Plans ☝️ will override our Plans: and we have not yet been clued in 🙄
Holland also found the source of the biting fly infestation - they are gnats … and they are swarming the grounds outside … finding their way inside. The weather here has been perpetually damp with lingering low-lying fog, allowing maybe an hour or two of sunlight to filter through the damp cloud shroud - and the trees have been shedding their bark, which falls to the ground; collecting moisture, trapping moisture, and creating the perfect breeding environment for the pesky hellish flying insects. Also, the orchards (backing the RV Park) have been trimmed, with their refuse left on the damp ground - also prime breeding environment for gnats.
We're gaining ground on them inside, but the hard reality is that we will be to battling them on a daily basis, until we leave here.
It's going to be a long 5 weeks 😒
Gnat - these sucker bite! Holland doesn't seem to be affected, but I yelp and welt when bit.
Using vinegar & dish soap to combat this disgusting fly infestation; these hellish creatures have a lifespan of 20 days - but they breed 100's at a time! It's a very slow process, but safer on our lungs than pesticides would be.
On an up-note: I am halfway through the length of MOD over-sized afghan 👍 … so, I am going to get back to work on that while I give Tony a listen - remind myself that Elohim still has a solid Plan in play: and try mightily not to mutter WTH 🤦🏻♀️ throughout the program as the demonrat sanctuary city madness (that closely resembles the violent, lawless, madness, of ancient Sodom and Gomorrah) continues.
I feel like I am caught in a Twilight Zone time warp 😱
