Greetings And Salutations
Greetings and salutations
Good old-fashioned letters and greeting cards were keeping me company during the quarantine, pero ahora dije me que no puedo to send them because they might have coronavirus. So I just sit in the den and try to hold my breath. I refuse to give up my dark sense of humor, lest I become a dreaded Heather!

#Space I like Jason A. Alexander for the new Mars Rover!
Name the Mars 2020 Rover!
In 2020, we’re sending our newest robotic scientist to Mars, paving the way for humans to one day live and work on the Red Planet. The only problem? Our Mars 2020 rover doesn’t have a name yet! We’re calling on K-12 students across the country to find the very best name for our next robotic space explorer!
The Mission
Before we can send astronauts to Mars we need to learn more about the planet and its climate. This is where the Mars 2020 rover comes in. Its job will be to explore the Red Planet in search of signs of ancient life! It will also be tasked with characterizing the planet’s climate and geology, and collecting samples from its surface. Because of the groundwork laid by rovers such as this, humans will one day become an interplanetary species!
Meet the rovers that came before it
The-soon-to-be-named rover will be joining the team of historic NASA robots that have been working away in space for the past 27 years! All of our robot explorers have their own missions, personality and names that help tell their own story. The most recent Mars rover is Curiosity, the …..

Despite what you may have heard, I’m alive but not kickin’ right now.
Where Did I Go?
I’m one of those people who communicates better this way than face-to-face. It’s not that I’m a cowardly lion; it’s that I’m a perfectionist, and some decisions are too big to rush. And then things happen in life that remind me of how short life is, and so I feel like I should leap to another circle. Old and reliable is the comfortable choice. There’s nothing more important than family, so choosing to create a new family seems like the one thing in life you never should rush. But, it’s good to let seamstresses know that the suit is nearly tailored.
Mary the Dawn, Christ the Perfect Day; Mary the Gate, Christ the Heav’nly Way! Mary the Root, Christ the Mystic Vine; Mary the Grape, Christ the Sacred Wine! Mary the Wheat-sheaf, Christ the Living Bread; Mary the Rose-Tree, Christ the Rose Blood-red! Mary the Font, Christ the Cleansing Flood; Mary the Chalice, Christ the Saving Blood! Mary the Temple, Christ the Temple’s Lord; Mary the Shrine, Christ the God adored! Mary the Beacon, Christ the Haven’s Rest; Mary the Mirror, Christ the Vision Blest! Mary the Mother, Christ the Mother’s Son. Both ever blest while endless ages run.

Scheduled for release just before midnight in the U.S. I’m embarking on the unknown. I pray it ends with a kiss and a “yes.”
