Craziness

I have kind of a quirky imagination, but there is some stuff that just cannot be made up.  I heard this on the local news the other night.  A toddler found a gun in her own diaper bag after being dropped off at a daycare center.  A LOADED GUN.

The child's grandmother had "forgotten" the loaded gun was in the diaper bag.  WHAT??

Even more curious--the daycare's solution to this little problem--children will no longer be permitted to bring diaper bags or backpacks to the facility.

Do we live in a crazy world?

  1. A loaded gun? I am still shaking my head. Are you sure that grandmother wasn't wearing one of those signs around her neck that says "I'm Stupid"? Should have been! I'm still shaking my head...

  4. And these are the people raising our future generation? Scary and thankfully there was no terrible accident for some innocent to suffer and that child would have had to live with.

  5. I would call it a PSYCHOTIC world. That grandmother should be committed to an insane asylum.

  6. You would think by the time a woman reaches the age of grandma she would have this kind of thing down to a fine art ...... well maybe.... guess some of us grandmas still have a thing or two to learn. lol I am glad nothing bad happened.... that we know of. because mama and daddy may have had a thing or two to say to grandma after that. lol

  7. Totally insane! Thank goodness the child didn't do any harm after finding it. I hope the grandmother was penalized as well...beyond having her stupidity publicized. Wow!

  8. Obviously the child should have been expelled from the day care center. Zero tolerance and all.

  9. Beyond crazy. Why would the grandmother even put it there? Thankfully, it was found. Thankfully, no one was injured.

  12. I certainly hope the Grandma was reported to the police! Why ban back packs and diaper bags? Just check them at the door! What do they bring diapers in now?

  13. Really? That's the way they solve the problem? Backpacks don't kill people, People (like stupid grandmothers) kill people!

 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.
