Wacky Sister and i have been stomachs-in-knots cuz our dear sweet friends C and R live outside of New Orleans and we know how bad it is there. No, we don’t, those of us who aren’t there. But we’ve heard, and we’ve seen pictures. R’s house on the lake is destroyed, C’s house (in Baton Rouge) has been without power. But the scariest news was that their mom, who lives in Gulfport, Miss., could not be located. But she found a friend who had cell service and she called and she is OK she is alive, thank God. Yay to moms!!!!!

PEACE AND LOVE to the Wacky Mommy of my late friend David Johnson. He was an Oregon boy, who I knew from about 20 years ago. A bunch of us used to all run around together, when we were mere children. We lost touch. He was killed in Iraq. God rest. His mom is going to join Cindy Sheehan, deep in the heart of Texas. You rock, mamas.

And, in more trivial news: Did they steal the other pumpkin yet? No. But they did try to steal the neighbor’s car. And a few years ago, they stole my neighbor’s bathtub. Which was in her driveway at the time. (They were remodeling.)

ttfn,

WM

Wacky Mommy sends love and support from Portland, Ore., to Crawford, Texas, where Wacky Mommy Cindy Sheehan is camped out with her crew, hoping to meet with George W. Bush and say what a lot of wacky mommies and daddies around the world are saying, “End the war in Iraq right now.”

Her son, Casey Sheehan, was killed in Iraq in April, right before his 25th birthday. She started Gold Star Families for Peace in response.

Peace and love now, not later.
