A very heartfelt birthday shoutout to the woman with the voice of an Angel who can hold a note until the end of time. The one with mad acting skills and a beautiful personality who is also limber beyond what would cause me excruciating pain. 😬 And on top of all this, she is gorgeous!!! Hope you are enjoying your day #MelbaMoore!!! 🥰😍🥰 @melba1moore #melbaforever #melbaforevermoore #musicroomhalloffame (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkUvdvwMFrd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The treatment of these two and their legacy by our past Administration was embarrassing. The treatment of #45 by the current Administration is appropriate. Welcome back Michelle and Barak Obama. ❤️❤️🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏽🙏🏽 #barakobama #michelleobama #whitehouse #thewhitehouse (we should petition to change the name) #donaldtrump #joebiden #mikepence #kamalaharris #trump #biden #obama #barak #michelle #cnn #shesfine 😜 (at White House, Washington DC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiQkY9EJjAe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some of my favorite #ComoBikeLot photos beginning with this year; Brianna, Tori, Tim, Barry and Karleen (who is not pictured). Notwithstanding having to climb barbed wire fencing on multiple occasions to retrieve my ride, and being on “lockdown” due to local shooting incidents, my experiences have always been positive. Thanks for taking good care of my beautiful #Peugeot over the years and being such great people!!! 😍🥰😍 @mnstatefair #mnstatefair #greatminnesotagettogether (at Minnesota State Fair) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiLbNNMpRe9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
