We live in a small town in Maine. Nothing really ever happens here. Today, however, it did.
Last week a man was stopped at a routine traffic stop checking for seatbelts. He pulled a gun on an officer and got away. There was a manhunt for him all day the following day and the schools in the district were closed, and the nearby schools were on lockdown. He was never caught.
Today, he went into my daughters school and held the 5th grade class hostage! They locked down the school and got all the other kids out immediately. He had 11 kids for around an hour or more. He had a loaded semiautomatic weapon. Thankfully, he has been taken into custody with no injuries.
My daughter is home safe and sound.
Here is a link to what happened.

L&L finish
I am so happy with the way this turned out. I substituted gold braid for the white beads around the edges, and I just love the way it turned out.

Too funny!
My husband, Todd, takes Kimber to her soccer practice every week. This week he was talking to another man there about hunting (my husband's passion). The other gentleman said, "Well I was planning to go hunting today, but soccer comes first. You know..isn't it great being a Grandfather!" Todd said, "Umm, I'm not a Grandfather, I'm a stepfather".
Todd is a year younger than I am but his gray hair makes him look older. I think it is hysterical!

Minus one
This used to hang on the inside door of our mudroom. Apparently it fell off and the dog chewed it up. She really worked on it too, it was totally unidentifiable. She is a 2yo Golden Retriever who will not stop chewing. She's chewed up blankets, quilts, afghans, pretty much anything made of fabric. She has baskets and baskets of toys and bones, but she prefers fabric. All I can say is I'm so glad it wasn't Paradigm Lost or the Scenic Farm or something like that. This is where she is going to spend all of her time if she doesn't smarten up soon!
