Doing My Part!

We have had a busy week. Early voting started here on Monday and we didn't make it in until Wednesday, but we have voted!

The postcards I signed up for finally arrived.  I wrote them all in one night and signed my name and my daughters names to all of them. I thought their names sounded more youthful than my old lady name. They went in the mail last night! 

I also sat through two hours and forty five minutes of poll worker training. I think it is an endurance test. 

Now I am off to a football game about two hours away. One granddaughter is a cheerleader and the youngest granddaughter is joining her as a mini cheerleader.  I don't mind the drive there but the drive home will need coffee. 

Happy Weekend.

  4. I think its great that you are volunteering for this - that gives me one more thing to add to my To Do list for the big Someday (retirement).

  6. Well done! I've voted and also spent several hours at the Dems office here at the lake writing postcards. I will probably go back before I leave.

  7. Glad to read the postcards appeared and you got them done and mailed. No early voting here but I'm working the polls and will vote then.

  8. I always think I am slacking by not working the polls, but honestly, I haven't got the heart for it. My township is so small. Last time I voted the woman said, 'Republican?' She looked so shocked when I corrected her. Actually did a stutter step and repeated my answer back has a question. I just don't think I could spend a day with these people.

Thank you so much for stopping by to visit! I love your comments and suggestions and read them all. Due to spam, I will now have to approve all comments. Sometimes it takes me a hot minute to authorize comments due to grandchildren commitments. I apologize but I can't let those scammers get the upper hand!
