Bragging rights

just a note here. I began this blog entry over a year ago and apparently never finished it. That is the ONLY reason I can think of for not publishing...so here you are, a year late....


Ok, I have used the "in labor with you for 19 hours" phrase for only a few things. I know I was responsible for having Katie and if she was asked to be born, her name would be Julian Lennon, or Mrs. George Harrison...but I am going to take some of the credit here and use my "brag free" card.

We have known for some time that Katie is different. She is overly conscious and overly caring and overly worried that if someone doesn't do something, the world is going to self destruct and we are all going to float through space looking at each other with a "what happened" sort of face. While knowing darned well what happened.

So her immediate plans are to start with local residents and gather them in a place that will have information from agencies willing to help them fight the poverty status they've attained. While this will not save the town, I think it's a HUGE step toward showing people that there is help and people who care about them.

We will feed them a "modest" meal and raffle off gift cards and just make them feel like there's hope, and all because Katie had this idea......
