We begin today just checking in. What are we feeling? What should be do about it? How can we support our friends and sisters? Where do we go from here, America? How do we heal the pain?

From there, some good news. A thrilling lift-off to space and some exciting twists to the story. Did you know both astronauts are also married to astronauts? Julie celebrates graduation from kindergarten. Not hers, though it feels that way. She also makes a major purchase for her backyard yards that isn't exactly going swimmingly. A Dog Pool.

In our work advice segment Working It Out, we answer two listener questions about how to get through these hard times. A working mom who is having trouble dealing with her first grader AND getting her actual job done, and another mother who, Franklin, just doesn't like having her husband and kids at home all day! Deb and Beth, we feel you. Post any of your own work-related questions on the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group and we will tackle on future episodes.

Lian is trying to find the Texas book club that booked her to appear in August. It's lost among all of her social messaging apps. Help! Was it you? Contact Lian from her website www.liandolan.com. She also found a couple great listener letters that came in months ago. Sorry!

On Cooking With Liz, we hear all about Mama Capra's Marinara Sauce. This week. Liz will attempt Vietnamese Salad Rolls and Dipping Sauces. Watch in our Facebook Group live at Thursday noon PT, Saturday noon PT and Sunday noon PT. Peace and Sauce, sisters and misters!
