Well, like everyone else, we are highly awaiting the outcome of the soon to be election. I have never been so glued to CNN as I have these past 3 weeks. It's made me very frustrated with our politicians. I met a boy at school who is the son of a prominent leader in our community. We talked politics for a bit and his young impression, living in a home of a "good name" leader, was that all politicians were crooks. Makes you just sigh and hope the future for our kids and grandkids will be ok. Make sure you vote.
This will be Tiffany's first presidential election. We did not opt for the early ballot because she wants to go to the polls. So, when you see the lines - think of us - we will be making friends and perhaps serving soda (haha - what a great idea eh?) with all proceeds going to a childrens home I think....hmmmm......I figure we will be there awhile.
The day the stock market took it's first fall, I received an email from the Naval Academy and they cancelled my visit due to "budget cuts". I was very disappointed. Bob did go to Michigan for a week and had a wonderful time with Mike, as always. They golfed alot and he got to spend some great time with his nieces.
Here's a picture of Laurie, ready for the fireworks at an outdoor concert we went to. She's such a crackup, I lost it and still do when I look at this picture. Picture the band stating that the fireworks were starting and she immediately took the sides of her chair and FLEW back to this position. Hilarious!
Hey mom, Mr. Elliott, Diane, and all - you need to update your blogs!!!
