Ten states in 10 days? Heck yeah, if you count that it took friend, Kate Ratliff, and I, three days, make that four, to cross Texas. Since I last posted, cough, in September, Grace and I’ve been back to Grayton Beach, Fla., and in late December, I traveled with Kate from Nashville to Florida and across I-10 to Kerrville, Texas, up to Lubbock and over the Santa Fe. I never thought I’d say this, but I’m micro-blogging, at least about this, via both Kate and my instagram accounts. Come follow us: www.Instagram.com/katevratliff and www.Instagram.com/leisahammett. Or you can follow along via my account at the very bottom of my blog, by clicking my photos and corresponding stories of our trip. (Hint: the juicier content is on Kate’s feed.)
It was an adventure we nicknamed our personal Thelma and Louise, aka Kate and Leisa. We didn’t drive off a cliff but we did nearly die of carbon monoxide poisoning from…oh, I failed to mention we navigated this trip, at least the first half, via a 2017 24-foot new RV—Kate’s. But we had to alter our plans after the beep-beep-beep that went off the night we slept in a Kerrville, Texas, state campground. #dontmesswithtexas Follow along, heart us, and comment here, there. xoxo #livedtotellit #andmicrobloggingit

Hello Leisa I hurt about this sweet Little Lad Joe Daniels Jr. How sad for Him & His Brothers. I would of loved too have this sweet Little Lad for my own. It made me cry about the hole mess. I saw it on the News.
Yes. Sad. Still I say important to ask the difficult questions of how did supports fail this family? The ways could be many. Not to excuse their crime. But as a culture, we all have a place in weaving the large net for one another.
Mimi is referring to the Tennessean story about the child with autism who was killed by his father. I was quoted in the story: https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2018/04/11/joe-clyde-daniels-killed-tennessee-resources-autistic-children-autism/500729002/
