The search for Caylee Anthony

I have been following the Caylee Anthony story very closely since it first broke. I hope her mother remains in jail. She is obstructing justice to say the least. She shows no concern about her daughter and is more concerned about herself. She did not report her daughter missing for over a month??? I would by hysterical if one of my daughters were missing for an hour. I would be distraught and probably unable to function. I would be begging everyone to look for her, pleading for her safe return. Casey Anthony has not done this. I think her parents are enabling her or covering up for her. They know more than they lead us to believe. They have not been direct in talking to the authorities.

I hope investigators know more than they are letting on. They are no closer to finding Caylee than when she was first reporting missing. The truth is, more than likely, poor Caylee is probably dead at the hands of her mother or her mother's boyfriend. Casey knows where she is-probably buried somewhere in a shallow grave. Tell us what you know-come clean-tell the truth. Let's put this case to rest.

Was Caylee sold for money? Was there ever a nanny? Did she die in an accident and you are covering it up? Was she killed intentionally? Is she being held for ransom and you are afraid to speak up? Did you want to get rid of her, so you could party like other 22 year olds?

There's more to the story-let's hear it. There are thousands of couples who would have adopted your little girl if you no longer wanted to be her mother. She deserved better than what she got. I hope I am wrong, but my gut tells me this little girl has been dead for weeks. I pray I am wrong!

The people in your neighborhood..

I have lived in my house almost nine years. Today during my walk (for exercise) I was reflecting on the people in my neighborhood. It was nice to see my 22 year old neighbor (a guy) playing catch with his Dad in the street. It was sad to see one neighbor walking a dog that was once spry and is now struggling to walk and quite old.

A street sign that has been missing practically since we moved here was finally replaced. How long before someone steals that "Princeton Drive" sign yet again?? As the neighbor hood turns! The kids that played in their front yards when we moved her in are driving and in high school or college. Scary how the years have flown by. I actually knew the family that lived here before us. I went to high school with their son. They lived here 27 years and raised three kids. I like to think of my house as a "happy house". The kids grew up and moved out. They had an inground pool and closed in up-we still get magazines. My husband thinks he knew where in the yard it was. I wonder if it was broke or nobody was using it, so they filled it up? I wished I had more info on the pool.

I have a neighbor who is elderly and an original home owner. She tells me stories about the other families that lived in the neighborhood and in my house. I think it's kind of cool!

I will always remember this house as our first house. A house I fell in love with because of the property, it needed quite a bit of renovation. A house we had ups and downs in and the house we brought both our children home to. Sometimes I fast forward to the future and I can still see my husband and I living here. The house is quieter and I have my office back and a guest room for when the kids come to visit. So much of this house is ours-the new windows, new kitchen, new bathroom. It didn't feel like our house at firstm, but it did after we put our own touches on it!

I love my neighborhood and house. NY is getting expensive to live in. I hope we can stay here and not be forced to move to somewhere cheaper. I'd hate to be forced to move from a place I love so much.

The kindness of strangers

Yes, strangers can be kind people-even in NY. I usually run a craigslist ad in my county advertising my Lia Sophia business. A woman who used to sell Lia Sophia emailed me and asked if I wanted some of her old supplies at no charge. She was going to throw them away and thought I could use them.

She lives about 1/2 hour away-but comes to the next town over to tutor a kid. We met in the town where she tutors and she gave me the stuff, lots of forms, a tote bag, some postcards and a retired piece of jewelry. So nice of her. I had brought with me a dunkin donuts gift card to give to her and am so glad I did. She was so nice and glad to help me out!

It just goes to show-there is still goodness and kindness in the world-now if I could just get some more Lia Sophia parties booked-I'll be psyched!
