October greetings

Hi Andy and everyone - I'm sorry I haven't been on the blog as much as I had hoped. Andy you are right that everyone is busy and has a hard time finding time to write. However, I am not yet ready to give up on the blog. A reunion is a great idea! Let's talk about it. I don't know what has happened to Mike. He was posting at first. As always, I have been very busy at school, with my Mom, and also I am now a grandmother! Ron's daughter, Erica, had a darling little girl on September 22! Her name is Sasha. Sasha is my excuse for not writing recently. The gas shortage in Atlanta has been miserable. We have been through several weeks of sitting in hour long lines to fill up. No one even worries about the price; they are just thrilled when they find a station with gas. This weekend has been better. The lines are not as long and more stations have gas. No one has been able to explain to me exactly what the problem is. It is NOT all because of hurricane Ike. It was definitely not this bad after Katrina which was a much worse huricane and shut down more refineries. I think our whole country is in bad shape. People don't seem to want to face reality and try to solve problems. The financial crisis makes me so mad. All of the geniuses who run these financial institutions didn't see this coming? Why not? Maybe we are all too greedy. Does anyone know how to get us out of the mess? I wish Mike would give us his perspective on the situation. Oh well, one thing for sure is I don't understand it. I just know I have lost a lot of money. Will we ever be able to retire? On that cheerful note, I will sign off for now. Take care!

Lois
