Snow in South Dakota

My husband just told me he heard on the news that a woman went to the door to take her dog out to go potty and when she opened the door there was a big white wall of snow. Can you imagine it? I can't even get my mind around that.

What do you do? How do you get out? I guess she said the snow plows would be coming around but not while the wind was still blowing over 60 miles an hour. We have never had that kind of snow here and sure glad of it. What we get is plenty but at least we can get out the doors.

Gen. Petraeus Assesses Afghan War

The new chief of the U.S. Central Command, Gen. David Petraeus, is credited with turning the tide in Iraq. Now he took a firsthand look at the war in Afghanistan on Tuesday. He will meet with Afghan leaders and top U.S. military officials, including U.S. Gen. David McKiernan, the head of the NATO-led force. Gen. Greg Julian, the chief U.S. military spokeman in Afghanistan said Gen. Petraeus is in the country to conduct an initial assessment.

Obama Wins Election

Barack Obama won the Presidential election last night with 349 electoral votes to McCain's 147. They were fairly close on the popular votes by the people as a lot of people liked both men. I feel more people liked Palin than Biden but that is a mute point now. It is a historical event that we have lived to see in our lifetime, where a black man was elected President. It is actually exciting to see how everything will be affected in 2008.

Nebraska Safe-haven Law

It is really a good idea. But I know Nebraska never expected families to drop off teenagers to get rid of them. Now Gov. Dave Heineman said last Wednesday that he could wait no longer to address what has become a state embarrassment. He is going to call a special legislative session to amend Nebraska's loosely worded safe-haven law. In just a few months, it has allowed parents to abandon nearly two dozen children as old as 17. That is shocking!!

The Governor had planned to wait until the next regular legislative session which would convene in January, but changed his mind as the number of children dropped off at hospitals grew. He said "We've had five in the last eight days" in explaining why he called a special session. "We all hoped this wouldn't happen." The special session will begin November 14.

Home Theater Seating

Now that we have the HDTC television set and got the surround sound set up, what else do we need? I know. We need some beautiful, comfortable home theater seating. That would make the family room complete. The rest of the family is going to be fighting to see who can come over and watch television with us and enjoy these wonderful chairs. This website has exactly what you want or I would be very surprised.

Happy Birthday Kaelyn

Kaelyn turned one year old today. It is hard to believe a whole year has gone by since she was born. Time goes way to fast. She is having so much fun opening packages for the first time. It doesn't take them long to learn how to rip the paper off and then play with the paper or the box. It is so funny when they are only one. Sometimes the wrappings are more fun to them than the actual toy or gift, whatever it is. It is so much fun watching them, it is a barrel of laughs. Tomorrow she will have another family party with grandparents and her uncle too, so she is in for more fun.
