Washington Post reports KKK Supports Trump

If you're to vote for Donald Trump among those folks standing with you are the members of the Ku Klux Klan.

The Washington Post, along with the LA Times, NPR and Fortune magazine reported today that the KKK, through their newspaper The Crusader, have officially announced their support for Trump. Read more here.

Oh, and in case you've forgotten, one of Trump's mentors as a young man, and an on-again, off-again attorney for Trump for many years, was Senator Joseph McCarthy's right-hand man, Roy Cohn.

Walking food tour of Montmartre

Thursday 29 September.

Susan and Clotilde

We had a lovely walking food tour of Montmartre with Clotilde Dusoullier. You can read all about it at the French Tarte dot com: https://www.frenchtarte.com/news-blog//2016/10/a-walking-tour-of-montmartre-with.html

figs everywhere, green and black, and they were delicious

Labor Day and then some

OK, so the Meijer Garden photos were taken a few days before Labor Day. It was a gorgeous day and I needed to break in my new travel camera. Anyway, as I've often said before here, I just can't get enough of that wonderful green space laced with so much metal imagination and colorful flowers all mixed up together.

Much of the US holiday of Labor Day was spent with the Ten Have clan as family and friends gathered to celebrate not only the closing of summer and the opening of autumn but also John Ten Have's birthday.

Good food and even better conversation -- a superbly beautiful day at the lake.
