Ramblings

Ramblings 

Tonight we went to a cocktail party.  Doesn't sound like us? It isn't. It was a fundraiser for the democratic chairwoman in my county, hosted by the mayor and county auditor. Both are friends of ours so we felt we should go and bring a check.  We stopped at the cash bar and splurged on two ginger ales and a big tip for the bartender.  There were some delicious appetizers, including sauerkraut balls that rival my recipe!   

 This morning we had the pleasure of attending a fourth grade history fair.  Each student made a poster about a famous person from our state. We had the opportunity to interview them about the person they were portraying. My grandson was Thomas Edison (remember our field trip on Easter break?).  

He told me we were the only ones who interviewed him. Most parents and grandparents only looked at their students poster and took a picture.  I loved interviewing all these famous people! I met a musician who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,  Annie Oakley,  several Neil Armstrongs and John Glenns, even more Steph Currys and LaBron James, several Travis Kelces (I congratulated them on the engagement), Vera Ellen from White Christmas, the woman who has voiced Bart Simpson for thirty five years and is also Sabrina Carpenter's aunt, as well as many many gymnasts.  The kids were so eager to share their facts and we stayed until the end of the fair to talk with as many as possible! 

I was also going to ramble about the 15 1/2 hours I spent as a poll worker on Tuesday.  But in retrospect I believe I will need a whole post to rehash that.  

Tomorrow I am going on a road trip with my glass class friends.  I think I was in on the original plan but now I can't remember what we are doing besides going out for lunch in a different city. But I am always ready to go out for lunch!  

Saturday my youngest daughter and granddaughter and I are going to the tea restaurant for the monthly tea which is going to be extra special.  

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
