My wall has a new addition of @MrT

I don’t know how he feels about homelessness and poverty -but I remain a fan of his animated cartoon show so when the chance came to have an autographed Mt. T. In your pocket , I grabbed it!

Hand to mouth

Careful of what I say

Quiet down time

Quiet and down time. The stress of trying to find housing and shelters for desperate families when there are no available beds is getting to me. Without silent, stay at home rime with the family :I’d go insane.

Cost saving sewing?
