Evil in this world

Once again I am baffled by the evil perpetrated by some people in this world.  It seems to be all around us and is prevalent in our country right now.  We look at the news from Afghanistan and Israel and think, "Those poor people, how do they live day to day with the evil in their countries, the bombs, etc." Then it happens in our country and what are we to think?  I am so low over this violence, I hate violence.  Yesterday, someone said to me what they thought what we should do to the bombers and it was more violence. Although I hate what the bombers have done, I don't see how meeting violence and evil with more of the same solves any of the problems.

The Madrone Tree

I have completed one new work, "The Madrone Tree".  I really liked the shadows on the trunk.  I have two additional pieces started, but have been sewing so I am slow in completing the next two.

Another Cruise

We are going on another cruise.  This time to Key West and the Bahamas.  I am really looking forward to this cruise.  It has been over two years since we went on our last cruise.  Richard said he didn't want to go anymore but I talked him into it.  We are going with KASZ again.  I will take lots of photos and post them.  I just wished someone would look at what I post.
