Time Capsule

Whew! Last week came and went so quickly, the new week began before I could recap what happened.

Highlights from the week of July 5th to July 11th:

1. Steve McNair, father of four sons and a former NFL quarterback, was found dead in an apparent murder-suicide. McNair also founded "The Steve McNair Foundation" dedicated to empowering youth.

2. Byrd and Melanie Billings were killed in Florida during an apparent home invasion. The Billings were parents to sixteen children. Twelve of their children have developmental disabilities. All but two of their children were adopted. The online memorial is available here. Their generosity is a legacy that will never die.

3. Obama spoke at the G8 summit and stated that the world's economic recovery is "a ways off." I have never hoped that a president was just as plain dead wrong as I do now.

Three things to look forward to this week:

1. I will sew a tea wallet by hand.
I will sew a tea wallet by hand!
I will sew a tea wallet by hand!

2. Reading on the hammock. So many books, so little time!

3. Play with clay! Coffee ground clay crafts. Thank you, Starbucks!
