Strawberry Moon

Tonight is a strawberry moon when there is a full moon and the summer solstice. It's named from the Algonquin tribe's first full moon of the summer indicating the gathering of the fruit for harvesting. Saturday we were at Madison LaPeriere's open house graduation party from 3-5:45 in East Lansing. 7 of my nephews and nieces were there and though it was hot it was an enjoyable afternoon.The weekend before we were at Brock Landon's and it was also very hot as we've had 4 days over 90 this June so far. I went to the YMCA to do the Silver Sneakers courtesy of Blue Care Advantage and will try to go this summer. A teacher from Cumberland died at 46 so I went to the Dewitt funeral home and saw many past and current teachers there for Mr. Clark. We went to the Blues on the Grand at the City Market and saw Twyla Birdsong perform last Wednesday as the summer concerts are beginning.No more assault weapons please, come to your senses America and Congress because the NRA has proven they want no restrictions on any guns despite the mass shootings. Hate is looming everywhere and love can only console without action on the causes of hate expressed by losers seeking their cowardly glory of killing the innocent. The U.S. senate rejected 4 proposal measures to limit gun sales to terrorists and better background checks as they needed 60 votes to continue forward. SAD! He who lives by the sword dies by the sword (GUN).
