Katrina and more

OMG! I am just overwhelmed at the damage caused my this storm. New Orleans is still under water and Katrina didn't even hit that city square on. The pictures and live video feed from helicopters is stamped in my brain.....I saw the governor from Louisiana today on one of the morning shows, she looks so tired and weary. Her heart looked like it has been broken for all her people. One good thing is between Cindy Sheenan and now this storm, Bush's 5 week vacation has been ruined!



Another child was shot last night in the city. I don't have alot of details, just saw the headline and my heart sank. All I know is he was 13 years old.




My sister was not able to make Ricky's birthday party this weekend, so she has asked to take him to Chuckie Cheese tonight for pizza and games! I know he will have a great time!

The hurricane converage seems to be overwhelming..and I can not phatom what those that have been effected are feeling.

My heart breaks when I hear bad news..it broke all over again when I read that the 13 y.o child was shot.

I hope that ricky has a fun time at Chucky Cheese! I loved that place when I was little. I still love to play Skee-Ball! LOL

Love you,
Sarah

my heart breaks for all that has happened.
sometimes it is like the world has come apart at the seams.
and then another senseless shooting of a 13 yr old child.
so so sad....

on a lighter note-
happy for Ricky !

hope he has a blast.
