My sister was down in Mississippi visiting her fiancée and she was supposed to come home yesterday but she managed to get home on Sunday. Thank heavens !! Her fiancée, Ron is still down there with his two dogs. I just called her this morning to see if she has heard from Ron. Unfortunately she hasn't but last night she did get a call from one of his neighbours to say that Ron is alright. She also found out that one of Ron's other neighbours lost their house and it was three blocks away from him , so she is concerned that Ron has lost his. What is going on in this world ? Someone is sure testing us !, CC

New Orleans is gone...it is the Pompeii of 21st century America. Mother Nature just took the Mississippi delta back from our species. "Rebuilding should not be about rebuilding the city. It is time to accept that reality and move on...to higher ground - figuratively and literally., KC

Perhaps it just makes more sense to just offer sympathy, empathy, hope, understanding, and make donations to the Red Cross for those affected by Hurricane Katrina instead worrying about the locations that people choose to live.

Mark: It was interesting to talk with you this morning: cell phone to cell phone. As I said in our conversation - reading your Musing blog every morning when I arrive at work "is a lot like a really good cup of coffee". Later today I received an interesting Wisdom List from a very old friend from P.E.I., which I will share:1. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.2. Marry a man/woman who you love to talk to. As you get older, the conversation skills are so important.3. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have, or sleep all you want.4. When you say, "I love you", mean it.5. Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much.6. Don't judge people by their relatives.7. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"8. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.9. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.10.Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.11.When you say, "I'm sorry", look the person in the eyes.12.Smile when you answer the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.K.E.
