happy national tv dinner day!
so much fun and so easy!
on christmas 1968, the apollo 8 crew feasted almost just like home on frozen tv dinners. mini bottles of brandy were included but they opted out to play it safe – no space hangovers, and left them unopened.

yet another

belly dancers
maypole colors

drawing people into the street
for

and
dance
creating
eclectic groups

unlikely partners
happy faces
and
it was pretty sweet.

it’s the first time
i’ve ever grown a vegetable
in my entire life
and so
it’s all perfect and i’m perfectly happy.
fairy-sized or not.

do not let your grand ambitions stand in the way
of small but meaningful accomplishments.
