The quote that gets me blogging? (This is local news to my county):

The message also needs to include how the entire community benefits when those with mental illness have access to treatment, Commissioner Michael Fox said ( Read more... )

Driving home from Louisville--4.5 hours long (not counting stops). Not long enough to be an epic trip to get through, too long to just grit your teeth and bear it.

Last night was the huge gathering of ladies for my mother-in-law's birthday. I felt bad that I was without a gift or card for her (or that Bob had not made it clear her actual birthday was earlier this month).

Independence Day is when Rachel was liberated from her China experience (of course she had a great time! But she was getting a bit worn down and homesick). But the pick up at the airport wasn't until 11:30 at night! This presented a logistical problem in that the airport is an hour from us, and the fireworks can be difficult to escape from when ( Read more... )
