Disappointment . . .

We have a flag pole in our yard. We proudly display flags over the course of the year. The flag pole is well lit, so we rarely take them down in the evening. We have been flying a U of U flag since the college football season began. With last week's victory over BYU, we have added our red rope light "U" to the front yard (just next to the front porch) -- just for celebration.

Well we left for about an hour and a half tonight to get some last minute things for Thanksgiving and to help with some preparations at the grandparents' home. When we returned, our "U" flag was missing and the rope light "U" had been damaged (not lit -- lights destroyed). Hmmmm . . . . What is that all about? I don't think a "Utah" fan did the damage. Could it have been someone annoyed with our display -- probably -- but it's our property and it's on our property. Will we find the flag in the yard tomorrow? Not sure. Can we repair the lights? Maybe. At any rate, we are good citizens, we take care of our kids, our yard, our house, and everything else. We volunteer to help others, always. We go to church every Sunday because we like to and because we believe in what's taught there. We respect others' property and their rights. But, we still have to deal with and tolerate those who feel they have the right to steal, damage, destroy . . .

It's just a major disappointment!
