ON MY MIND
As you all know we will be leaving here soon to rehab my grandparent’s house in Texas and on Thursday I was pretty happy thinking about that as I silently celebrated grams 100th birthday in my mind with wonderful memories of her and ALL she taught me in life and wishing I was already in her house doing my projects and cooking her recipes… Then the bottom fell out of our local world as my neighbor stopped us on our way out of the driveway and said “DON’T GO TO TOWN THERE’S A SHOOTING AT THE COLLEGE”. I have to admit at first I was dazed and thinking WTH? HERE? WHAT? REALLY? You see we’re a sleepy little community, not a big city, not a hub of political activity, just small rural town America. This has been a horrific week here in our community.

I whole heartily agree with this sheriff’s decision to ignore the coward, HE DOES NOT DESERVE RECOGNITION – WE DO NOT NEED TO KNOW HIS NAME or anything about him-that is for the authorities and their investigation. If you need names, learn the names of the victims, the heroes like Chris Mintz and first responders that dealt with the aftermath. These are the important people in this tragedy. The fact that the shooter committed suicide means he was a chicken to me.
As horrific as this tragedy has been to our community, it is heart warming to see the spark it has brought to the community response to help others. Banks, have set up generous funds and matching donation programs, Coffee houses are giving free coffee, even the pubs are offering free pints for giving a pint of blood, neighbors setting up meal plan programs for victims and their families, pay it forwards that go ALL day in fast food lines… There must have been several hundred people in the blood bank line at any given time before they finally had to start turning people away due to a lack of storage facilities, local businesses setting up victim funds… Here is a link to ways you can help. Healing will take time, time that can and should be clad in human compassion and warm hearts to help others.
THINGS THAT ARE MAKING ME HAPPY
- SEEING THE COMMUNITY COME TOGETHER & HELP OTHERS DURING A TIME OF NEED
- My cat curling up to cuddle with me in the morning
- Finishing projects

Be sure to link up with Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy homemaker Monday and with Laura at I’m an Organizing Junkie for Menu Plan Monday.
I couldn't have said it better Carrie! And yes it makes me sad too, so sad that it then makes me raving mad!
We are in the final countdown (FINALLY) and really looking forward to it being over so we can dig in and get ready for the holidays.
I think Blindspot is my new season favorite!
So far I'm really enjoying both shows, but as with all new shows A LOT will depend on where they take the story lines.
Thank you for the prayers. So far it has been a peaceful week full of community involvement and I pray that the victim's and injured's families are finding some solace.
You're right, there just are no words for the tragedy and not enough praise for the heroes and first responders. Sady says thank you! I hope you have a great week also.
Thank you for the prayers. I live by menu plans LOL and make them on Numbers.
Oh Tamy – I'm so sad to hear this! I'm so tired of hearing this – ggrrr!! This madness has to end! And I completely agree with the authorities not releasing the name…I love that they did that!! This world does need more God so there is more hope, love and peace. So tired of pained sick people using drama and violence to deal with it. And all at the expense of innocent folks. There needs to be changes!! I keep praying….
Also still praying for your journey ahead. And I saw Blindspot was on your tv list. We've really been liking that one – even my hubby and he's fussy about tv shows. Lol
Blessings on the rest of your week. xoxo
I'm so very sorry Tamy, it really is such a tragedy and so sad. I'm glad your community is pulling together through this.
You'll have to tell me what you think of Quantico and Blindspot, I've had them on my list to watch but not sure if I will like them.
Hope you have a fantastic week 🙂
So sorry for your community. You have a great attitude towards it.
Prayers for a peaceful week for you especially in the midst of moving.
That shooting…I don't even have the words. So grateful to God for heroes like Chris Mintz, smiling after all he's been through.
Your cat is super adorable!!!!
Have a beautiful week!
Such a tragedy what happened! Prayers are with your community. It is wonderful to hear that the community has come together so.
I hope you have a good week ahead!
I love your menu plan also. I have been wanting to make something similar to print and put on our refrigerator. That or maybe hand up a chalkboard.
