GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!!!!!!

This says it all!  (image borrowed from web)

Good morning.  Tis cloudy at the moment but my phone app says the sun will soon be shining.  Temps are at 37F degrees, but should reach up to 41 degrees soon.  I hope so because today I go to vote.  My daughter Deanne will be picking me up around one o'clock to take me to the polls.  Wish me short lines!  

Today is your last chance to be heard, so everyone - get out and vote!  It's not only a right and a duty, it's a privilege.  So many of our men and women have given their lives so that we may keep this privilege.

Last evening, I had planned to re-make the project that I had to rip out the night before.  However, I just did not feel like crocheting so it did not get done.  Maybe tonight.  Instead, I did a bit of Christmas shopping online.  This was definitely much more fun.  

Except for a few odds and ends, I do think I've finished my Christmas shopping.  At least most of it, anyway.  My biggest chore now is the wrapping and box packing.  Then getting it all to the Post Office.  

I'm always looking for new crochet patterns, and I found this cute cardigan pattern.  It's called the Grace Cardi and it's free online.  The front doesn't close.  It's just a cute little cover up .  I like the skirt too but I did not see a pattern for it.

This morning I'm giving myself a treat.  I'm watching re-runs of Law & Order - Criminal Intent.  I like this version much better than the SVU version.  Benson and Stabler turned me off to that version.  They believe in ruining innocent folks lives first in order to finally get at the truth of a case.  That's a turn off.  I don't like the way they interview either.  Maybe had they toned it down a lot, I might have been able to enjoy their version.

I've been checking out alternatives to cable television.  There's just too much hate and violence for my taste.  And don't forget all those "real housewives" of everywhere.  I ask you, do you really believe this crap?  

That reminds me of a memory from long ago.  I was in my early twenties and I thought I'd like to try living a day as a ritzy housewife. (like the ones in the movies)  I put on a nice dress, jewelry and high heels and tried walking around with a feather duster.  I even broke out a bottle of Southern Comfort to enjoy a few drinkees.  All I remember about that day is that I made sure the kids were okay, and when hubby came home from work, I was totally sotted.  He put me to bed, and I woke up the next morning with a nasty headache.  I learned that it's just not all it's cracked up to be.  (I did not do that again!)

The morning is flitting by and I need to decide what I'll be wearing when I go to vote.  On that note, I'll take my leave.  Just one more reminder folks, GO VOTE!  So, till tomorrow, Y'all stay safe and have a fantabulous day.

Hugs, Edna B.
