Today I received Desi's quilt for the Quilts For Kids charity. I will be taking it and mine and Wanda's to the quilter tomorrow. They are beautiful and I am so thrilled that we have been able to participate. I have let our R.S. know about the program because I think it is a worthy organization and if someone wants to be a part of a charitable activity but has only a little time, physical ability, or money this is a great one to be a part of. I think I will also contact the church and see if they have needs right now too...although there would have to be more contribution on behalf of the individual as they wouldn't provide the fabric...but there are plenty of us with fabric stashes.

In the package of Desi's quilt was a cute little stuffed MRSA bug that Cherstin had sent for Rich. He really laughed at it and then enjoyed reading about it...thanks Cherstie! Now that Rich is recuperating from MRSA we hope that this is the only kind we ever have in this house again!

Rich is up to his eyeballs in work right now. He is frustrated. Much of what he is dealing with is the government trying to anticipate saftey needs for federal buildings because of an angry electorate. Wouldn't it be nice if the government just listened to the people and then we wouldn't be angry! And then we would have to worry so much about people going off the rails! Perhaps this is just a sign of the times.

Watched some of the health care summit and felt that Obama came off as imperial and arrogant. I detest his "I'm the president so suck it up!" attitude and his air of superiority and look-down-your-nose lecture method. He seems to just want to do what he wants - and thinks that if he talks more then we'll see how smart he is and want what he's pushing. Why doesn't he get that it is exactly what he is pushing that we don't want! He reminds me of one of my kids...when they wanted something and I said no...they just kept trying to "help" me see why I should change my mind...it doesn't work...in fact...it usually just made me angry!
