London High-rise Fire



Many have heard, it's probably on every news outlet in the country. My heart goes out to the victim's families of the London Fire. According to a news release, 79 people believed to had died says the London Police today. It's hard to imagine what pain is surrounding the families and the whole city of London. Disasters like this impact everyone around. I live in the United States and feel for London. 
"It's hard to describe the devastation the fire has caused," Cundy said, fighting back tears as he spoke. This was one quote from Mr. Cundy. He also quoted to reporters "Awful reality". People here in the US think things like this couldn't happen to us, we are badly fooled if we think those thoughts. It could come to our city or our backyard. Those 79 people awoke that morning never thinking their home would be engulfed in flames that would take everything they owned and their lives. Two British officials said Sunday that new exterior cladding used in a renovation of the high-rise may have been banned under U.K. building regulations.
Our prayers are with London and the families of the victim's involved. From the United States, London know one thing, you are in our prayers.

Prayers for London,

Remembering Barbara Bush

Some of you may have already heard but Barbara Bush passed away a few short days ago at the age of 92. She was the wife of our 41st president, George H. W. Bush. She was one of only two women in history who can be called first lady or first mother. Her and former president, George H. W. Bush had been married for 73 years. That’s amazing compared to most marriages today. Barbara Bush’s eight years as Second Lady made her a household name. After her son Neil was diagnosed with dyslexia, she took an interest in literacy issues and began working with several different literacy organizations. She spent much time researching and learning about the factors that contributed to illiteracy—she believed homelessness was also connected to illiteracy —and the efforts underway to combat both.  She traveled around the country and the world, either with the vice president on official trips or by herself. In 1984, she wrote a children’s book,  C. Fred’s Story , which recounted the adventures of

Oh, how I love snow days!

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful but we really have no place to go. So let it snow let is snow let it snow!  Do you remember as a child hoping you'd have a snow day so you could stay home from school? Us as adults wishing for snow days too so we can stay home from work. Isn't it nice to curl up by the ol' fireplace and watching the snow fly? This is definitely soup and chili weather, not to mention good reading weather. If you're like me, I always keep a stack of books on hand for weather like this.  I live in Virginia and this is a picture of how our roads look today. Ugh, don't they look horrible? My driveway is covered and our county officials are encouraging people to stay indoors and don't go out unless you have too. Luckily, I'm off today and don't have to go anywhere til the end of the week. A good cup of hot cocoa is on my agenda for this evening along with a big bowl of soup. Yum! Yum!  What
