I remember my Dad making us turn the t.v. off if a gun was drawn on t.v. That was Bonanza and we only had two channels. I must remind him of that. He would laugh. It's funny how I parent just like my parents and I thought they were funny!<br />You did teach us that the world is becoming a better place and I hold fast to every word you said and Joan's actions. Think of both of you very often.<br />JenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5296941970054564614.post-6744433709488267152012-12-24T05:26:18.757+00:002012-12-24T05:26:18.757+00:00Couldn't agree more, Gen.

As for the cookies from Gabriola, happy to share anytime. :) Duncan.<br /><br />I understand exactly what you're saying, Lee. One of the glimmers of hope here may well be in the experience of shared grief. Such as that has moved people to make positive change in society and to stand up against attitudes that devalue or put at risk others. I appreciate your comment.

I'm glad people are horrified; it shows not everyone is desensitized to these horrible acts.Keep posting about the truth; which like the kayaks is the glimmer of colour on an otherwise dreary place!

A lot like your kayaks on the winter water. :-) Those Garibaldi cookies DO look good!

We all need to take them to heart because together, we can transform this world. <br />Glad you added the postscript, I couldn't believe it the other day when I read about the NRA and had to reread it to be sure I had understood it correctly. When will they ever learn?<br />Merry Christmas D & J<br />LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
