i just realized after checking my msn account, that tonight is the night that john allen mohammed will expire. who, you ask? well, the guy that spent 8+ days terrorizing the beltway and areas around DC, western VA and MD, with a teenager in his trunk shooting a deadly gun (out of neatly rounded and shorn holes, i might add) at random people traveling home from work, or school, or a good party - wherever, with the sole intent on killing them.... sick, twisted, random, and totally bizarre. i remember this little bit of unattractive american history because i was on my way to a good friends' wedding in virginia on 95 (i was a bridesmaid), ducking my head everytime we filled up on gas or needed a bottle of poland spring, and filled with fear that this was going to be my senseless demise, or her wedding weekend memory. WHAT IS THAT??? i feel like screaming a good RYFKM, john allen mohammed????? (and i did after sadie and violet were in bed tonight). but it does no good, and will not answer any questions. So instead, i have to choose to focus on the good in our hearts and in our world, and the positive that we can bring when we give back....
it is an amazing story of a regular guy, who just believed that he could make a difference. for his family and for those that loved him, it is our time to help out and make a difference.... if you can not believe in a legacy like his, i am not sure what you can belive in. sugarbaby vintage is so proud to be a part of this auction, and our little sweet vintage quilt is not even in the same league with the other things being bidded on... get involved. xxoo
lots of love and send me your sugarbaby pics... (i promise miss sweet sadie's sugarbaby quilt debut soon, i am so negligent - it is a second child thing!) but she is amazing and so smilely and sooooo
lovely. xxoo,
