I haven't read any of the news stories about the little boy in Florida. I've thought about it, but I can't. I can barely even think about it. You see, I have a 2 year old son, JJ. If you've met him, you know that he would be the first kid to try to get into the gorilla cage and the first kid to run to splash in the waters on our Disney Vacation. I can't stand to think about what those parents are going through right now. I can't stand to think about what it will be like to go home without him, and I really can't stand to think about what that father is feeling, especially when so many people have decided to cruelly and obnoxiously tell him that it's his fault. Today I'm praying for this family. For today, and for the rest of their lives, they have a new reality; one that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Salute

5 for Friday

1. What do you love about Summer?
It being over and a return to the cooler days and the longer nights 

2. How did you have  fun in  summer?
I had fun as a child when I was allowed to play outside after dark, catching lightning bugs and playing kick the can. But otherwise, not really. Summer is my least favorite season.

3. What do you like to do during summer time?
Write, read, genealogy, email (like the rest of the year). Plus,tv and count off the days until summer is over.

4. Do you like the place where you live?
Yes, very much so.

5. If you have given a chance, do you want to live in the tropics?
I've actually never been to the tropics, only the subtropics, so I can't say for sure-- but I tend to like cooler weather, so I probably would not like it. I think I would miss seasons after a while. I'm hard to please weather-wise.
