Today I went to the Senior Center for lunch. We have a citizen's commitee formed to find

new ways to help fund the money needed for a water project in Buhl. The city had been

mandated to clean the aresenic out of our water. This project will cost every household

$27.00 more on the water bill. Bringing the total bill to $130.00 per month. We are a

small town of 5000 people and not large incomes.

Our committee was speaking to the seniors on this project. It made me thing about

America, I think we all need to speak up and fight for all the little things that we are

being charged for. Americans need to take back control of the local government by

being present at our city counsil meeting and letting them hear what we think,

It's the middle of October and we are having a beautiful snowy weekend. The trees are white and

roofs are covered. Last week it was warm and the roses were blooming. What a difference a

few days can make. Not to fear though it will be back in the 60's by the end of the week.

Just a short cold front.

Our market even affects the kids.

Thank goodness it is not this bad in our area yet. We are still stable

but alot slower, longer days on the market. Praying the bailout and

the election will help people feel better about buying and selling.

I am staying positive and working harder. I will survive.
