Depressed

[Georgie]

Thanks Auburnwine. That's exactly what we're planning to do next week. Some sort of celebration or fun activity that will make up in a small way for the missed trip. On Veterans Day I had some friends who had lived through World War II come in and talk about how life was different during the war. We spoke about black-out curtains on homes and the big curtains that were raised along the boardwalk to hide the lights from the ships at sea. We spoke about how people couldn't get all the things like sugar or gasoline that they were used to, and how people at home sacrificed for the good of the cause. While this isn't exactly the same kind of sacrifice, I think that the kids understand that during a war daily life is indeed different. I appreciate your understanding that it is hard to deal with children during these troubling times. I just hope that this war over quickly and that something good comes out of it.
