Crawling from the wreckage...
Howdy Neighbor,
I think everyone who sat through yesterday's Annual Retreat Smash and Bash (ouch!) is to be commended irregardless of which direction they thought the neighborhood should take on our current issues. I am very happy to have made several new friends throughout this process. I have discovered that Friends are much harder to come by than neighborhoods.
I think our neighborhood politics somewhat mirror the RED/BLUE state of affairs we in this country find ourselves in today.
I can tell you one thing; these folks (news item) don't care what kind of fancy street lights we need in the Elite Retreat:
House votes to cut $700 mln in food stamps
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives voted on Friday to cut $700 million from the food stamp program, despite objections from antihunger groups complaining that estimates show some 235,000 people would lose benefits.
I think it puts our problems into perspective.
There are only two regretable things in life:
1. Not getting everything you want
2. Getting everything you want
A healthy life involves a good amount of compromise!
The Retreat Blog rolls on......... Stay tuned......for pics of our new Puppy !
