            We hope every one’s day starts out with a bright and cheerful good morning.

            Yesterday’s events were not too many: I did water the plants and I attempted to give some extra water to the berry beds as everything is too dry. The ground in the yard that the sprinklers do not cover is cracking open. We need a couple days of nice rain without any storms.

            My favorite wife and I did sit outside yesterday afternoon and a friend came over and wanted to look at our hot house. He is considering purchasing one and wanted to get an idea of how big ours is. I tried to explain how I put mine together so we hope he got some good ideas.

            Today’s events: we are hoping that after getting Alex to school on time and in a safe manner that we can go out to the voting place and vote. We are hoping the line of people waiting to vote will not be too long at 8:30 but I guess we will wait and see.

            We plan to go after voting and have breakfast. A nice big breakfast at a restaurant provides enough food so that we don’t need to have lunch.

            This evening, we are going to the high school where Alex will be playing music while we watch an ole movie that has no sound. An ole black and white movie and the orchestra will provide the music.

            I need to get going and get Alex to school, I will finish this later and let you know if we get to vote. 

            We are back: we did get to vote and it took about 45 minutes total that includes standing in line and voting. The voting was on a paper ballot and then we put it into a machine. 

We did go to the George’s restaurant for breakfast and my belly is full. I asked for a discount since we had voted, the answer was NO. I asked for a senior citizen discount, NO, I asked for a first responder discount, NO, I asked for a military discount, she said they had a military discount but it wasn’t much. Needless to say, we did not get a discount, the food was good and the service was good.

Now that my belly is full, I need a nap, so, we hope you have a good day, have fun in all you do and be safe.

We voted!

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow!
