A night under the stars and other stuff

Kim's new favorite thing is sleeping out under the stars. We blow up the airmattress and make up a bed and sleep outside in the back yard. She loves to get in bed before it gets dark and count the stars as they start to appear. The weather has been so nice and hot that it doesn't even get to cool during the night. So that's how we've been spending out Friday nights. Just having some nice quiet time together under the stars. Now what could be better then that?


On to another story. Last weekend a local man was out huckleberry picking when he came across the bodies of 2 young people that had been murdered. Our little community has been in an uproar all week as new news and evidence has come out in the investigation. The victims were 18 and 20, boyfriend and girlfriend. The killers, their friends. Two of them 20 years old and the other just 17. They have all been arrested and have confessed to their part in the murders. Now law enforcement is finding out that these young men had confessed to friends what they did prior to the victims being found. So they are in the process of arresting those people and charging them with conspiracy due to the fact that they knew what had happened or in some cases what was going to happen and not a one of them said a thing. I guess I just can't imagine knowing that kind of information and not saying anything. The whole situation is just so sad. The families of everyone involved are going through so much. The thought of your child being murdered or your child being a murderer. Neither thought is something that any parent wants to think about. I am praying for all these families.
