BEHOLD!! These are my Disneyland Floribunda roses that I bought from Jackson & Perkins. I planted them around June and the weeks following after, it looked like it was on the verge of dying. I have successfully nurtured them back to life and they are giving out so many beautiful blooms!!
On to the next hobby...
Artemis is the first step in the next era of human exploration. This time when we go to the Moon, we're staying, to study and learn more than ever before. We’ll test new technologies and prepare for our next giant leap – sending astronauts to Mars.
Artemis missions will achieve many historic feats, like landing the first woman and first person of color on the Moon.
With today’s release of our graphic novel First Woman: NASA’s Promise for Humanity you don’t have to wait to join us on an inspiring adventure in space.
Meet Commander Callie Rodriguez, the first woman to explore the Moon – at least in the comic book universe.
In Issue No. 1: Dream to Reality, Callie, her robot sidekick RT, and a team of other astronauts are living and working on the Moon in the not-too-distant future. Like any good, inquisitive robot, RT asks Callie how he came to be – not just on the Moon after a harrowing experience stowed in the Orion capsule – but about their origin story, if you will.
From her childhood aspirations of space travel to being selected as an astronaut candidate, Callie takes us on her trailblazing journey to the Moon.
As they venture out to check on a problem at a lunar crater, Callie shares with RT and the crew that she was captivated by space as a kid, and how time in her father’s autobody shop piqued her interest in building things and going places.
Callie learned at a young age that knowledge is gained through both success and failure in the classroom and on the field.
Through disappointment, setbacks, and personal tragedy, Callie pursues her passions and eventually achieves her lifelong dream of becoming an astronaut – a road inspired by the real lives of many NASA astronauts living and working in space today.
Be a part of the adventure: read (or listen to) the full First Woman story and immerse yourself in a digital experience through our first-ever extended reality-enabled graphic novel.

If you have a friend or family member with food allergies, or if you’re newly diagnosed and you live in the US, here are some things you need to be aware of, as of 2018 (and I suspect the law won’t change for decades):
-”may contain” or “made in the same facility as” labels are all 100% voluntary in the US.
-the phrase “gluten free” is regulated to be Celiac safe, but is completely voluntary
-the phrase “nondairy” doesn’t mean what people think it means. It refers to a lower milkfat content than traditional dairy items. Do not use these for people with milk allergy, lactose intolerance, or are vegan. They can get very sick from nondairy items.
-the phrase “dairy free” is not regulated. Things that are labeled “dairy free” can contain milk or be cross contaminated with milk if manufacturers want.
-the phrase “vegan” is not regulated. Things that are labeled “vegan” can legally contain anything manufacturers want them to. More importantly, “vegan” products can be cross contaminated with dairy allergens.
-something can be “peanut allergy friendly” or “gluten free” but still contain every other allergen -You can find allergens in the weirdest of places. For example, there are candies and taffies that use egg whites. Or a marinade can contain gluten or dairy.
-Examples (from my own life incidentally): Purchased plain tortilla chips, which are gluten free, peanut free, and vegan. The label makes no mention of dairy. But, the chips are cross contaminated with milk because the facility makes flavored chips that use milk. Purchased frozen vegetables, whose ingredients list “broccoli”. But because the manufacturer also makes broccoli with cheese sauce or butter sauce, the plain broccoli is cross contaminated with milk from the machine.
The bottom line: Just because a label doesn’t mention a certain allergen doesn’t mean it’s free of that allergen in the US. Be careful.
