Okay, so I shamelessly stole the 2023 Oscar winner title for this little Monday morning personal multiverse that Pretty and I inhabit every day. Mea culpa. Enjoy – no goggles required.

Thankfully, all quiet on the Cardinal front today.

Stay tuned.

    1. Charly reminds me so much of Poppy. Bittersweet but beautiful. Give them all loves from me, but sneak an extra measure to Charly.
