Graceland
Sunday night. I'm kicking back listening to Paul Simon's "Graceland." Damn! I had forgotten how much I love this disc. Especially the title track. For some reason it's resonating with me today.
It was a beautiful day here in KC. Surely one of the top ten, weather-wise, that we'll have this year. I bought a big ol' Boston fern for my front porch, some more tomatoes, (heirloom and Early Girl), plus some goodies for my planters: caladium, ivy and diascia will be my container combination this year. Kind of a red/green/pink theme. I think it will be very pretty.
Anyway. Anna and I were up-close and personal to the shooting spree over at Ward Parkway mall this afternoon. I was driving her from her dance class to her lifeguard class when we noticed lots and lots of police cars speeding past with lights and sirens. As we got closer to the mall, we noticed a helicopter hovering over Target. Then we saw an ambulance heading over that way. We both guessed it was a shooting. Sadly, we were right. It's weird that it happened at a place that I frequent on a weekly basis. Here's the story if you want to read it:

Freaky.
I'm glad you and Anna are accounted for. I'm sure I'd have heard about it if you were there. I went over to mom's and could hear helicopters overhead still (this was at 5:30...I'm sure they were news and not police helicopters).
Yeah...very strange to think about that happening somewhere we go, if not weekly, several times per year.
im just glad you and your daughter are ok
OMG, I heard about that on the news here in Vancouver, how terrible that it's where you live!!!! What the hell is happening to the world??????????
I'm glad you're all safe.
Love
FF
