Dec 2011

My Internet reading has really slowed to a trickle. There aren't too many sites that 'get it', and besides, I have been having the grandkids more often and at 4 & 5, I spend the time reading the kids favorite stories such as Three Little Pigs and Little Red Ridinghood, etc.

And at this time of year, people are into Christmas and shopping and baking, and the heck with talking about anything else. Yet, the everything else is what is going to come back to haunt each and every one of us. Maybe when people have lost what they thought they would always have, they'll understand what we've been trying to tell them.
