looking up possibles for the chick, its swedish flower roo / brown leghorn hen. 

Linda, My brats grew up in detroit. I had to make them street wise of they would of never even made it in school.  That fear is hard to let go of.  Paying attention to who is walking behind you , in front, even across the street just becomes a way of life.  A lot of judgements were made on looks alone. Did they have one pant leg pulled up ? Run . bandanna ? stare em in the eyes, it just goes on and on. 

They get enough of that in our neighborhood and going to school... Home should be their secure place. Knowing my neighborhood, they will not be out there nor do they have the desire. Kids come and go and they know why. Not to worried about street smarts here. A whole different generation from when I grew up.

The whole world is feeling unsafe these days. It is very different from the Ozzie and Harriet neighborhood I grew up in. I live in the same house, never moved. I almost hate it but there are still nice, friendly neighbors but they are dying off or moving.

That is what the terrorists would like us to feel but I think we in the USA are doing ourselves in just fine without any help from outsiders, thank you.

I am ready to take back my town. Do good and be an example for the rest of them. Not sure on the fine details though, just a yearning for the good old days.

Throwing colors was something I dealt with in my generation... Things are different now. Although the gangs still exist it is more territory drug areas nowadays...

Last year I was on pins and needles with the suicial shooter at the school. Phones aren't suppose to be used in school but all my kids text me daily... Before the school did... It's a scary time for kids. I have learned you can't trust your co adults any more. You count on the kids you know. Open conversation and breaking rules.
