The deer at my place must have moved in from Louisiana, because they keep stealing my okra, tomatoes and green peppers.

Terri Crysel snapped this picture this week in La Grange, saying, “I drove by these two men this afternoon and they were holding hands with heads bowed and praying ... it gave me goose bumps and I almost started crying. It was such a great sight after seeing all these disrespectful looters and all the damage being done all over the world. I turned around and went back to try to capture in a photo what I witnessed ... but by the time I got back, they were just sitting and talking, like they’ve been friends their whole lives. People need to be more like this and get to know one another ... love one another no matter what. I love you all.”
