The Week...So Far........

It's been a beautiful chilly busy strange week so far.......yesterday the clouds were awesome! I finished another journal for a friend....Ty's been with me...we are getting ready to make waffles. More photos below of the week in progress.....a wonderful bunch of goodies graced my mailbox on Tuesday...from my DEAR friend, Catherine who lives in the Netherlands...Ty Mae posing with the fig tree.....and the finished journal for a tree lover....
On Tuesday I was glued to the TV watching the horrible incident that was taking place in Shingle Springs...( on the 'outskirts' of Placerville)....A domestic violence call that turned deadly...A man killed his Father, and then ambushed and shot 3 of our local deputies and a canine....they found the young man dead in some bushes at the scene....
THE WONDERFUL MIRACLE about this awful incident is that ALL the deputies 2 male and 1 female...and the canine officer "Donder" are all recovering from their wounds...and all are expected to make a FULL recovery. What an absolutely horrible thing to have happen so close to HOME in our beautiful peaceful community...my heart goes out to the family of the victims.....and my heart is overjoyed that the deputies..including Donder are all going to be okay...it's such a small community up here in the foothills... having lived here most of my life...going to school here since the 6th grade etc. it stands to reason that in some way we would know someone...that knew someone...of one of the people involved...turns out that my son's neighbor is a cousin to one of the deputies...and I went to High School with the Mother of another one of the deputies...I am so grateful they are alive and will be okay....It's so incredibly SAD when ANYTHING like this happens....I just WISH that people WOULD learn to live in PEACE and start to embrace LOVE instead of violence.....
