Shirley, Gives people an uneasy feeling even at home doesn't it? Remember the days when you could feel safe, leave the doors unlocked and the windows up at night? Now you wouldn't even dare leave the windows open. Times have changed - and not for the better! June

I thought I would let you all know since some of you have Whitley CO KY ties. I have a scanner & sometime this morning they found at least 1 man & woman dead from shotgun blast. At another location again 1 man shot in the same manner. This has not broke in our news yet. But should around the six even. news. Shirley Bragg Cherish yesterday, Dream tomorrow, Live today.

Shirley B that sounds like K.C., Mo. They have an average of 3 homicides a DAY there. I want my kids out of there so bad but they still won't hear of relocating. You would think with my nephew being murdered almost a year ago ( Oct 4, 2008) they would open their eyes & get the heck out of there.

Marilyn, I've lived in KC twice. Two yrs. each time. We lived in the city the first time for about a yr., then moved to Gladstone. The second time, we lived in Riverside.

I worked on Saturday and we were busy and I was pretty tired when I got home. Did not do much of anything. We went down and got fast food for dinner, because I just did not feel like cooking. Nancy

Carolyn: Count me in on the prayers. Nancy

Mildred, Glad you heard me. LOL We have cooled down a lot here. WE haven't had much rain here but are not as dry as you are. Yes, I am about finished with my canning. Can't say I am sorry but sure miss my fresh produce. Had to buy tomatoes today for my hamburger wasn't happy about that. I am so happy with my can shelves in the basement. So good to be able to go down there and pick a can of beans off the shelf. But needed a rest from the garden. Were the fires any where near you? I thought about you and wondered. Didn't remember exactally where you live. Hope you are able to take the trip with the group and do some researching. Getting old is for the birds isn't it??
