Haiti and things...

I worked on repairs this weekend and did a little bit of throwing this weekend, but not much I have to admit. I still can not get in the swing of things but I know I will. Is it just me or does the whole earthquake thing on the other side of the world tend to really get ya' down? I listen to NPR alot and of course its one tragic story after the next. I've donated money for flashlights and other stuff. Any little thing I can do I have, but you know its just not enough and you have to wonder how all those poor people are going to make it. I guess the vibe from the radio and just the fact its January may be playing a part in my feeling discombobulated. I'm just feeling alittle off kilter! Onto my part repair.
I am happy to report that after looking closely at the casing around my prongs, I did come the conclusion that I knocked it really hard and that is what caused it to break. Not the fact the element wore it out because it was sort of resting on the above the casing . ( Although, I do know it did not help the matter either .....just in case that tech from Skutt reads my blog! YIKES) I'm waiting on some elements and then I hope I am back in business!
The kids are I went for a hike yesterday at a State Park near our home. I couldn't resist getting out in the warm sun and airing out every one's brains. Including my own! We made a stop at Good Will so they could spend some mad money and a treat at Krispy Kreme ( well..not for me but I sniffed in a few calories). That is how we celebrated Martin Luther Kings Birthday. I was tickled that the girls would tell folks "Happy Martin Luther King day!" when we saw someone we knew. Maybe he's smiling somewhere...
All your Cyber-folks have a good Tuesday!

Have a good day with George, Gary!

I know how you feel about Haiti and some of the other difficult stories on NPR. Sometimes I have to give myself a break from it for a day or so, not only do I not want to become terribly depressed but I also don't want to become desensitized. Thanks for donating, I'm sure it helps.
