As I looked out my window at our first significant snowfall, I was taken with the beauty and peace of it all. Hard to believe in this stillness, that a horrible tragedy took place in Omaha yesterday. Westroads Mall is a place Chris, the kids and I have been many times. I have shopped in that very Von Maur store. In life there are things we do that involve calculated risk. Shopping on a Wednesday afternoon is not one of those things. Please keep the city of Omaha and the families of the shooting victims in your thoughts and prayers. It's a helpless feeling when something of this magnatude strikes close to home. Love your kids and treat them well.Thursday, December 6, 2007
Peace on Earth

When I heard ..my thoughts went right to the Mara family. It is so sad and unbelievable..Thankful you and family were NOT there. Live is fragile..take every minute you have and enbrace it.

Jo.....I was so happy to hear you and your family OK....you were the first ones I thought of when we saw the news...terrible thing to happen, but near the Holidays it seems it is even worse.
Stay safe...
