I feel a certain pride in how it was all handled. My hat is off to those who worked so hard to make sure people were safe during the capture in Boston, but of course, I feel sorrow for those who were killed and injured.<br />That photo of my Amaryllis is from last year, mine is just pushing up from the ground for this year, but it's getting there! :-)Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-1500758550841701032013-04-18T22:26:14.540-04:002013-04-18T22:26:14.540-04:00Yeah!Yeah!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-57299468325144061992013-04-18T21:04:54.835-04:002013-04-18T21:04:54.835-04:00I do remember the story of Richard Jewell and I th...I do remember the story of Richard Jewell and I think it was such a tragedy that he was blamed for something he didn't do...I'm glad it did get cleared up but still, sometimes we rush to find somebody to blame before getting all the facts.

We're so quick to jump to conclusions, and we're impatient when it comes to letting the process work. We want everything NOW! I am thinking of the Saudi who was first questioned in the Boston tragedy. Would they even have looked at him twice if he hadn't been a Saudi? Spring is lying under a new blanket of snow this morning in my corner of the world. Your Amaryllis is lovely ~ it's an indoor plant here.

A man was blown up by a car bomb in Brighton while I was there.<br />Maybe not expect it, but I still wish that just ONE person could have seen or suspected someone in order to have stopped this tragedy.<br />(I also wish someone could have questioned why the terrorist in Lawrenceville, GA wanted to learn to fly a plane without wanting to know how to land it. He went on to fly into the World Trade Center.
