Weird Weekend!

It's the weekend, as if I have to tell you that. Bare with me! It's the weekend, but it's not a typical weekend here. Such an odd and uneasy feeling exists. We ventured out briefly to Redbox. As we drove down the road we glanced at one another, Brad quickly stated, "it's like a ghost town". As I chimed in with, "where is everyone?" People are not out and about like usual during a weekend, or at least not in our section of the Dallas metro area.  It's pretty quiet and lacking of any kind of pep!

Indeed it's an odd and somber weekend. The news is filled with info on the victims as well as the cowardly idiot that shot them. The weather outside this afternoon decided it wanted to match the gloomy feel of the city. Clouds of gray ushered their way across the area, now completely settled in hovering in the skies above as evening approaches.

Did we get anything at Redbox? Nope. Perhaps our mood shifted upon arriving at our local grocery store where we choose to use the Redbox machine, we simply couldn't ignore the depressing mood that exists around us. I think it's going to take some time for Dallas to move past this. This coming week will certainly be hard as the city prepares to officially and publicly say goodbye to the victims.
