Many of my friends and family have been affected by the earthquakes and hurricane that hit the East coast last week. Jon's grandparents live about 50 miles from the earthquake's epicenter. So do my parents (in a different direction).
Hurricane Irene also caused a large tree in the backyard of Jon's grandparents to fall down near their house. This particular tree was so large that after it fell you could stand in the front yard and see the trunk on one side of the house and the top of the tree on the other. It landed on one of their cars and just missed the house. They are still without power like many on the East coast. The flooding in New
England is just amazing to me.
Then of course there is the economy. The housing market has still not recovered. Unemployment is still rather high. Food and gas prices are on the rise.
But yesterday, a friend of mine won a very long-fought battle. She won full custody of her 5 year old daughter. It's nice to know that good things are still happening even though the news is only talking about the bad stuff that's happened lately.
