Some Thoughts

I am ready to give up watching the news. It's too depressing.


Today I saw a bumper sticker: CRONE--creative researcher of new experiences. Now, that's a group I would join on Facebook.

Both Mary Matalin Corville (on CNN) and Rudy Giuliani (on ABC) stated publicly that there were no terrorist attacks on the United States during the George Bush presidency. UH, I guess if you don't count 9/11...


On the subject of terrorism, I TOTALLY believe blogger Betty (http://bettysnewtrick.blogspot.com/2010/01/chasing-terrorism.html) has the answer. I hope she will run for president.


I want to be just like Helen Philpot (http://margaretandhelen.wordpress.com/) when I grow up.


When is common sense going to return to our political process in this country? Every recent development seems fueled by anger. It's not healthy and it's certainly not productive.

  1. I am not angry with President Obama but I am angry and disgusted with the American people. I heard someone ask former President Clinton about how long all the angry rehtoric was going to go on and he said "Until the American People won't take it any more."

    Obviously we aren't there yet. People may have voted for Obama but they seem to be listening to the GOP, Glen Beck, and Rush Limbaugh. I do not get it. I need a break to recover.

    This morning I downloaded some light fiction onto my Kindle and I'm taking a break. Politics has been a life long passion of mine but the last year has taken that out of me.

    What can we do? I read and try to stay informed only to see Americans go to the polls and vote like Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh tell them to vote. Have we gone into herd mentality? Are people no longer using their minds to think for themselves? Do they no longer look down the road for consequences? I'm disgusted.

  2. What Linda says and you too. I really can't understand the attack mode we are currently in and how rabid people can get. There are a lot of closed minds out there.
    Hope Bill is right and we get fed up soon.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
