Our Christmas Photo for family members who asked. If you want one just ask… =)
Not the best background… But we didn’t have anyone to take the photo that night, so we did the best we could. We took close to 50 pictures and this was the one that came out the best. Now if only dogs had opposable thumbs…

A gripping book that is based on the actual events that unfolded in 1959, in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas. It is about the murder of the Clutter family, for the small sum of about $50 dollars. It is excitingly written by Truman Capote as he goes through the events that led up to, through and after the murders.
Obviously Dick Hickock and Perry Smith could not have understood the implications of the horrible crimes that they committed; not only for themselves, but for the whole of America. The book delves into the story of the family and Dick and Perry, but it also documents the hysteria, nervousness and worry that the small town residents began to feel after the murders. Thankfully both of the killers were caught and paid with their lives for the crimes, but America would never be the same.
One of the great works of all time; a definite must read.
