Ammon Kenneth Cassidy

Welcome to the world Ammon Kenneth Cassidy! Ammon was born Friday, July 25. His parents can fill you in on the details. I know he was born about 10:30 pm, and weighs 6# 9oz? William called me when I was asleep and he seems to be kind of busy today. Sariah just got a new phone, and I am not sure it is charged yet.

I will be going to Utah on Monday and staying for about 2 weeks to help care for the big kids.

Happy Birthday, Michael James Cassidy! Michael is 8 years old today. I guess he sort of got a little brother for his birthday. How cool is that? Only Michael can say.

Yours, Mine and Ours

There is a strange phenomena in this world about ownership and stealing. If I put something out in front of my house, there is a chance that it will be stolen. The closer to the sidewalk or curb, the more likely it will be taken quickly. Even if it is up close to the house, it seems ownership is up for grabs, except for hoses. No one has ever stolen one of our hoses. Are they of no value, or are they on the list of "leave it alone, it's not yours!"? The most interesting part of this phenomena is picnicking or camping. You can leave stuff alone for hours on end in the middle of a public park with all sorts of people around and come back to all the stuff untouched, except by wildlife and insects. People tend not to steal too much from public parks. Why is that? Pick pockets will steal from your person at any opportunity, but won't take your fried chicken, cooler or cake off a picnic table. Our world is really strange. I am glad there is an unwritten code of honesty or fear of stealing at the park.
