What Next?

In the weeks following 9/11 I sat in my living room glued to CNN, trying to make sense of the fact that the world had suddenly gone mad. Hijacked airplanes crashing into buildings? Terrorist sleeper cells waiting for the call to strike? The deadly Anthrax disease travelling through the U.S. Postal system? The unthinkable was occurring and it was terrifying. Seven years later I find myself once again sitting in my living room, glued to CNN, only this time it is not buildings falling down, but the entire U.S. economy. Enormous banks, investment and insurance companies going bankrupt? $700 billion taxpayer dollars spent to buy up worthless debts? Another possible Great Depression in our future? Once again turmoil grips our country and anxiety is gripping my soul. It will be interesting to see how this one plays out.

An Afternoon on the Licking River

HERE is my third and final gallery to share from our Kentucky trip. My brother's property runs right down to the banks of the Licking River and we had a ball playing there one afternoon. Between the row boat, 3 kayaks, giant blow-up hamster ball and the surf board, we stayed plenty busy floating and splashing and swimming.

Mom and Dad

One of the best things about our trip to Kentucky was just getting to spend time with my Mom and Dad. We've always been so close to them and we've missed them so much since they moved away. Click HERE to see some of the photos I was able to take of them (thanks Mom and Dad for being good sports about all the picture taking).
