Good Morning Digital Neighbors! Happy Monday ADD Irregulars, Phamily & Refugees! Hey there Dawn Patrol and Early Birds, Day Walkers and Later Dayers, Supports, Members, Lurkers and Curious Visitors to Locals! 🌞
I hope everyone had a good weekend! We had beautiful weather here in No-where's Missouri and capped off the Easter season with a wonderful celebration of Pentecost. I went to a wonderful family bar-b0que with outstanding pulled pork, had numerous walks with Rylee-girl and watched some podcasts and an episode of Ozark to cap off the evening. All in all, a great Sunday ending a great weekend.
Summertime - it was my favorite season as a child. Long days outside, endless explorations at creeks and ponds, spontaneous sports with the neighborhood kids, family vacations, swimming until I was exhausted, so many things made summer the best of times. It is good to remember back with gratitude and fondness. Life is far from perfect, and many experiences of family can be fractured, but I hope you can find good memories in your childhood. If childhood was a time and place to escape, I hope adult experiences of summer healed those wounds of childhood. Summer time has a charm that was unique. Happy Monday my friends!

His brilliant mind was fostered in the care of the Society of Jesus, who introduced him to the joys of literature and theater. Despite his later criticisms against the Church, Voltaire, throughout his life, fondly recalled his dedicated Jesuit teachers.
Although he spent time as a civil servant in the French embassy to the Hague, Voltaire’s main love was writing—an endeavor where he excelled in various genres, including poetry, which led to his appointment as the royal court poet for King Louis XV.
