What the HELL? Accusing parents of being responsible for their children's upbringing. Isn't that society's job -- blame? Read -teachers, TV, social media, friends, anything but parents. Is parenting harder today than in the past? Maybe. Different, yes. Does anyone have the complete answer? That is a big NOPE. But, daily caring, intelligent involvement, and sensibly boundaries are always in vogue. I weep for the parents of the many victims that STUPID gun rights has caused. Aggggg.

I absolutely agree, more people should be accountable. Starting with the Republican politicians and their “thought and prayers “ crap. Perhaps if they had to line up for swift kicks in their balls after every mass shooting, they would pass appropriate legislation. Just saying.

On a happy note, I am a shortbread fiend too and my husband recently made me a batch of the shortbread recipe you talked about in the Dec 7th newsletter. One of the truest statements I have heard in a really really really long time is when you said they were ‘a buttery whisper’. They were complete deliciously. Thanks for this moment of happiness.
