Please make the call...

I haven't been posting much lately - mostly because life has been hectic, I a terrible cold and I have been knitting the same thing forever. I also am trying to decide what to do about this blog - I know it isn't exactly fitting my needs at the moment - so I am considering starting a new one - but we will see what happens there....

My main concern for the day can be found here. Yesterday as I was home convalescing I watched Oprah - lately she has been irritating to me, but her show was on "Katrina Stories No One is Telling." I was so glad to see her do this and to see how accurate of a portrayal it was. One story that she told was that of St. Bernard parish - one of the areas I worked in last month while in LA. St. Bernard was completely devastated by Katrina. Many of the residents that are still there basically have no where to stay and no way to cook food - but for now are living on a cruise ship, the Scotia Prince, that is set to leave at the end of this month - which is NEXT WEEK! The ship needs to stay - FEMA isn't getting trailers there quickly enough and the residents of the parish need this resource. Please please take a look at the St. Bernard Parish website and make the call to the White House asking for the ship to stay.
