Wow, had a blast last night. Went to see a local theatre group. Went with one of my neighbors
and actually had 1st row seats. (Helps knowing everyone) The play "Funny Money" by Ray Cooney , made you laugh through both acts and wanting more.
As English plays go it really was great. A big difference from seeing a play in NYC as our tickets were $8 versus $80 a seat and certainly not front row.
Will write tomorrow as I have to make up my knitting that I didn't do last night.
Peace,

A Day Of Rememberance
I remember sitting the entire day watching the television when Katrina hit Mississippi and Louisiana knowing my son in law ,who was serving in Iraq ,didn't know the danger that was upon his immediate family and friends.
I called looking to make sure his Mom & Dad were safe as they left the area. They were. I spoke alot to my daughter as she had so much to worry about at that time.
His family lost alot but thank God they are safe. No more High School in Gulfport for his memories upon his return. I reflect on what has not been done to help more the Americans who still are in need of help in these areas.
Now I sit in front of the TV watching the funeral of Sen. Ted Kennedy. It has been quite a different day than we have seen in the Kennedy lives. I learned alot in the last few days of the Senator as a human being. He really did come into his own.
He will be missed by all as a champion for all who were in need or were just wanting the rights as Americans they should have.
I am knitting as it makes me happy and this is a celebration of a life .
Being a woman and having a disability and working for advocacy for others makes me sad to see him gone.

I have missed blogging. I have had alot of knitting time since I last blogged.
The ADA Presentation went great. Next year, the 20th anniversary will be so important to all of us. Have been busy working advocacy online as well as locally.
I lost a dear friend last month. I can't express how hard it was for me as well as her family. Yes she is out of pain and safe but I miss her terribly and will never forget Verla.
I had quite an odd feeling in the pit of my stomach all day today. With Senator Kennedys' death I reflected on what an impact in my life and many others (baby boomers) has had on us. I think back to all of the tragedy that struck us during the time that we were teens. The changes that came out of the pain that was put on us as a Nation. It did shape us in many ways.
I am still proud to be a liberal democrat and so lucky to have been born when I was so that I can still feel a part of many important days in our history.
God Bless and peace,
Darla
