I've been so social this week-end, I can barely stand it. I may not be able to talk to anyone for a week, at least.
Friday, my friend Angella, who hails from Louisville, KY, and her boyfriend Jason were passing through on their way to visit family in Muskegon and spent the night. I love Angella. As Martin says, she is so cute, you just want to put her in your pocket and take her home. We had dinner, we had drinks, we had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
Saturday, Sam, my other husband, wanted to have a bonfire, even though it rained like crazy during the afternoon and he had worked all day at a local grocery store doing Child Find ID. Martin started mowing the grass and had made one round of the yard when it started to pour. Hence, Green Acres now looks like a hayfield. It finally did clear up enough to burn things outside (which Sam is particularly fond of).
Best of all, Lisa came over for a couple hours. She is petite and cute and has great skin and we fed her red meat and had some laughs and I was so pleased to meet her. We will be meeting up again, I am sure. Maybe I'll even get lucky and she'll knit me something sometime.
This evening finds me still in my jammies, trying to cobble together my Oakland County Child Killer entry and I have to say, the whole thing just depresses me so much. Sometimes, I over indulge myself in true crime and need to take a step back.
Let me know if you need any Oakland County Child Killer links, I have lots. One of my pet cases, you know. I agree, it's so depressing. I think it is even more so because we remember it so vividly and it had an impact on our lives at a very impressionable age. I truly think that case had a definite influence on our true crime interests. It is so frustrating to read about tips being ignored, and then that crazy lady who may be making all tipsters look bad. (Yeah, I'm looking at you Helen - you and your OTIS file) She has sparked a lot of internet interest in the case though, and has more people talking, so that is good. I'm very disapointed the Cold Serial OCCK board has had so little happening, it used to be a great source of information and speculation.
I keep forgetting to send you the links, but I did finally find some information about the serial killer that went to Howell High with my Mom. If I can find them real quick I will email them to you now, before I forget again.
As always, yours in murder and mayhem.
