Day 2 - 282 -- Making Decisions

I voted today. The advance poll opened at noon and I arrived by 10 past.  There had been 40-50 minute waits with the line ups yesterday, so I wanted to get there early. One person was coming out when I went in and another entered as I left. There were others converging on the place a few minutes later as I walked by after picking up some milk. While at the polls today, I did thank people for working their Thanksgiving weekend. As I went off to read and mark the ballot, there were tears in my eyes -- not sad tears but tears of thankfulness for being able to exercise this basic right. I will admit I was taken aback by my own reaction to the process.

The rest of the day was spent doing those Saturday things. I made a big pot of stew, the perfect food for the cooler day today. It was great for supper. I also cooked some veggies for use in a dish for dinner tomorrow. The rest of the afternoon was spent grading assignments. All in all a good day.

The song choice for today seemed to fit the activities of the day. It is a light, happy little thing from an interesting '60s group. Enjoy!
