#WinterSolstice offerings for Dad & ancestors 🙏❤️ We have a simple home altar in our living room. We have ceremonial incense stations in our kitchen & both the front & back porches too.
We have no photographs of my matriarch Grandparents nor my patriarch Grandpa - or else they'd be on the wall too.

Our living room's interior featuring an eclectic arrangement of objects. A wooden shelf displays CDs and framed photographs, while a nearby table is set with tea cups and bowls containing tang yuandessert, alongside a teapot and a lit candle. My Dad's portrait & urn are atop entertainment cabinet. Various decorations, including a hanging ornament and a framed portrait of my patriarch Grandma, adorn the walls. This is our simple home ancestors altar.

An arrangement on a table features a framed black and white portrait of my Dad, two large, fluffy steamed buns on a plate, a teacup, and a lit red candle in a glass jar. Persimmons are stacked on lower far right.

A table setting featuring a tall lit candle, a woven basket filled with persimmons, and two bowls of tang yuan dessert with a spoon, all set on a patterned tablecloth.

Table set with food and candles, a traditional meal offering. Multiple bowls of white rice, pork, soup, and other dishes are arranged with ceramic spoons and cups, alongside a basket of orange persimmons and lit candles on various levels. The table is covered in a floral patterned tablecloth.

A decorative altar with a seated Guanyin statue as the focal point, surrounded by spiritual paraphernalia including incense burners with lit incense sticks, offering fruits such as persimmons and oranges on a plate, a small Buddha image, and string lights with multiple colored bulbs.

The top panel features multiple stylized black and red figures, including bears, a frog, ravens, a human-like figure, and a figure with a red mouth. The bottom panel depicts red salmon leaping through black wavy lines on wall beside concrete stairs.

Welcome, the entire land

Hieroglyphs where used for over 3000 years by the Ancient Egyptians. Luckily, they are still studied and researched today, otherwise I couldn't enlist others' help in my crazy follies.

The board is also concerned that the budget that Secretary of #State #MarcoRubio is requesting from #Congress for the next fiscal
year #cuts spending for the Bureau of #Educational & #Cultural Affairs, which includes the #Fulbright program, to $50 million from $691 million this fiscal year. [Holy crap!!! That’s insane]
