I'm the only one with social media and I don't post any family photos. I described my husband and the kids seem to be derived from mashing us up and giving them his coloring, which is accurate.
I assumed the kids would just be generic-looking, but no, it really tried to make them look like ours. My son, especially, is wild. π Down to the hair and the freckles.
Reminds me to feed mine. It's a really wimpy rye-sourdough, tho. Nothing that spectacular.
We will have to learn to live with that, apparently.
Of course, he only got 3 fingers, but okay. π€
All I told it was that my husband looked like an overweight Harrison Ford and the kids look like him, and it's his mom. And now I'm cracking up because they all really look like that!
I asked ChatGPT to do one of those Norman Rockwell style Christmas paintings of my family, without providing a photo of anyone but myself, and it is bizarrely accurate. ππ€·π»ββοΈ

The book takes place during the collapse of the Ostrogoths and the expansion of the Franken and Byzantine, which is an era I'm very unfamiliar with.

This one focuses on where Garibald I. lived, around Regensburg.

This site has great articles, but is plagued by ads, so I use the Firefox reading mode to read it.
Reading historical fiction about the first Duke of Bavaria (Garibald I.) and it's such a fascinating time, but so confusing. Have to keep looking at Roman maps, to figure out where the story is taking place because they're just all over the place.

Read it themselves, yes, rather than merely listening to it being read aloud in Church.
Weekly Bible reading and monthly church attendance are up, in the USA, with young men leading the trend. Older women increasingly disengaging from the Church.


Is that moussaka at the top?
