I will be spending the next few posts sharing scenes from my
little cottage, tablescapes and recipes with you. But I must
tell you that I am so very saddened about today's shooting
at a Connecticut elementary school.
My heart and my prayers go out to the parents and families
of 26 victims in Connecticut, 18 of whom are children.
What a terrible tragedy. I will never understand what
possesses shooters to kill other innocent people, especially children.
For all of those families, Christmas will be a very sad one. Their
lives will be forever changed by this loss. Senseless, senseless tragedy.
God Bless them all.
Bentley and I want to express how very thankful we are to
have you all as friends. Family and friends are the greatest
gifts in the world and our time together so precious.
Blessings,
Susan and Bentley
A horrible tragedy. Our lives can change so quickly. Sad...

ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas cottage!! So darling.
ReplyDeleteThe world situation and the horrors people are creating, really puts a damper on the holiday spirit.
ReplyDeleteSusan, I tried leaving a comment, but I'm not sure it went through. Thanks for this sweet post. What a tragedy for our nation......
ReplyDeleteSuch a horrific, heartbreaking day. My husband teaches elementary school and today was his schools last day before holiday break. I kept thinking of all those little ones lost today, looking forward to their vacations and dreaming of what Santa would bring them ... I am so very sick and tired (understatement) of whackadoodle angry people harming innocent people.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteSenseless. Shocking. And so very sad. Your words here today are heartfelt by all. One more word: scary.
Prayers and thoughts.

ReplyDeleteHi it sure is a tragedy,the poor families, my prayers are with them. Your pictures were lovely,
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and expression of the sorrow and heavy hearts that we all have.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for joining in and sharing scenes of your home, Susan. I can think of nothing but this tragedy. Two of my former students are very close to a couple who lost a child in the elementary school shooting. One of their children survived. The other didn't. Heart wrenching and senseless.
