2. Having enough money to buy tomatoes and goat’s milk lotion.
3. Watching the Atlanta Braves beat the Colorado Rockies 8-3 last night at Truist Firld.

Happy Pride Month 2023!
“Pride Month commemorates years of struggle for civil rights and the ongoing pursuit of equal justice under the law for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community, as well as the accomplishments of LGBTQ individuals. “ Brittanica
But why in June?
“Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month (LGBT Pride Month) is celebrated annually in June to honor the 1969 Stonewall riots, and works to achieve equal justice and equal opportunity for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) Americans. In June of 1969, patrons and supporters of the Stonewall Inn in New York City staged an uprising to resist the police harassment and persecution to which LGBT Americans were commonly subjected. This uprising marks the beginning of a movement to outlaw discriminatory laws and practices against LGBT Americans.” youth.gov
Our new Pride Boots …
May we celebrate and defend “liberty and Justice for all.”
This month and every month.
