Melinda: It IS sad. Noreen: I know, right? Not cool on the face, my boy. Lisa: Good on you! Jenny: THANK YOU. Kelly: Yes. It boggles the mind. I thought I was over the anxiety. Wen she first became a cop I researched how rare it actually is for cops to die, and I felt better. Now we've had 5 in our area in the last couple of months. hliv: That's funny. You're right! emilie: Good for you on the gift thing! Amy: I love that tradition. :) Those are lucky ladies. Ed: Are you putting one up in your window?

One of them even lists pictures and where to purchase it. I LOVE IT! With my crazy life, and theirs, it makes it so, so much easier. So, I asked for one for each of them, and they obliged. I can pick something I want to give, off the list, and wah-lah. Besides, it's the time I spend with them to exchange that is truly special, not the gift. That's just a token. I feel if I'm going to spend the money, I'd like to get them what they want or can use. We have lots of love for each other - and so we make it easy on one another. Probably not a popular opinion, however, these two ladies hold a special place in my heart for what I consider THEIR thoughtfulness. :) Well, I have to say two very close long time friends send ‘gift suggestion’ lists for their children.

Jenny you're back! I also hate lists. Making them for me or buying off of them for others. I get the sense in it.. but still! For Christmas? Christmas gifts are not about sense. However, I have married into a list-making family. We'll see how long I can hold out. I'm really excited about my gift for Matt this year... totally not on his list (he makes lists for EVERYthing, every possible eventuality!) but an "artistic commission" from a friend. He wants and needs all kinds of other things, but this will be something he never thought of, cause it didn't exist. I love that. Welcome back! And love, thanks, and prayers for your sister and all her colleagues. Yay! Jenny you’re back!

I have 2 officers in my family so I know a tiny bit of the anxiety. Truly brave men and women! What a wonderful thing you were able to do for the officers.

It is such a profound and heartbreaking event in the history of our little neck of the woods and crazy to be so far away. For law enforcement and their families, well, I just can't imagine. I am so glad you were able to do something and I am sure the officers really appreciated it. Next up, photos of your wounded cheek? I can't believe Clark broke skin! I hope you are okay!

I couldn't focus on the event I was attending...just kept watching the service and tearing up. So, *SO* sad. Such a crazy senseless tragedy. Very cool that you did pictures for your sister and her unit.

I typically use them to softly light a dark room without causing discomfort to any light sleepers or to light a bathroom at night when guests are over. I have blue light bulbs.
