Good foggy 65º drizzly morning.
Last night was a beauty of a sunset....
Sigh....
.. in the vernacular of Yoda, or "Yoda speak"... a nail-biter today is going to be. Scary it
is. Up in flames the Dems and BO must go! Worried I am.
Yesterday I went to the Evans Valley Rural Fire Dist 6 station to pick up
ballots.
This is in Wimer, which is about 8 miles north of Rogue River, but still
the Rogue River zip code.
I counted and logged all ballots and the fire chief, Bill, initialed each
with me. The off to Rogue River to deliver them to the "official ballot box". I
goofed and gave the gal all the paperwork and she wrapped the ballots in it and
put them into the ballot box. Sigh.... I needed to keep the originals. So,
called Carol at City Hall and will pick up the paper work tomorrow morning.
Started cooking the last of the tomatoes I got from Jeannie. All ripened,
but one! First picture taken on Oct 20th....second one on Nov 5th.
Then they all were cut in half, put into the crockpot
with sliced garlic, red onion, sea salt, citrus pepper, and olive oil,
turned to low for 8 hours. Today I will put them through the and strainer that will remove
the skins, separate the juice, then I'll cook them down and can them. The juice will be
canned separately. It's great in spinach smoothies!
Brian called me last night with this bit of encouragement... "Don't be too
worried about the polls early in the morning as Obama will jump to an early
lead. Don't be too upset, it will even out as soon as all the Republicans get off
work!" <g>
Historically this date...
1860 – Abraham Lincoln, the
former Illinois congressman defeated three other candidates for the U.S.
presidency.
..................as you can see I have a MONOPOLY board collection. My
original was our family's with wooden 'hotels' and 'houses' and metal playing
objects...
1944 – Plutonium is first produced at
the Hanford Atomic Facility and
subsequently used in the Fat Man atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan.
And births this date include....
My friend Trish's new granddaughter Isabella in her swing and Kevin and
Debbie's pup Delilah.... so cute! Apparently Delilah wants to kiss Isabella all
the time!
Thanks for posting this Kevin. Just want to love on them both!
Today is more ballot pick ups.
All I know. Nuff said. Pray. Ciao.

National Nachos Day
A Tex-Mex classic since the 1940s, nachos are delicious as a snack or hors
d'oeuvre at informal parties. The primary dish of tortilla chips, spicy ground
beef or chicken, and cheese can be dressed up considerably with other tasty
ingredients. Let's all salute inventor Ignacio 'Nacho' Anaya
!

What a LOVELY Monopoly collection. Thank you for sharing.
I think I got carried away collecting Monopoly boards and Chinese Checker boards. Some are from the 1930's. I stopped collecting when I ran out of wall space!!! LOL. xo
WOW you have so many Monopoly boards. When I think of Chinese Checkers I think of that wonderful photo of Tucker and Atlas sitting at the board playing. That is a photo for the wall!
AWWWW How sweet of you to post the Isabella and Delilah video. I'm with you I want to hug and kiss on them both. Isn't Delilah a precious little thing? I just love the way she seems to love and accept Isabella. So sweet.
I read that quote yesterday that Brian said to you. Don't know why I didn't post it on my FB page because it's a hoot!
I didn't quite understand "unofficial" ballot box. What does that mean? Were people voting up there yesterday? With the early voting, absentee voting, I get confused who is doing what.
HAPPY VOTING DAY and hope everyone has a wonderful reason to celebrate tonight! Let's hear it for a landslide!! Whether or not, any win will do!
Hugs, Trisha
Yes, T, that is a great picture of Tucker and Atlas!
In Oregon we vote by mail. Ballots come, we vote, put a stamp on it and off it goes. Some places have "official drop boxes" and the Deputies pick up the ballots at the end of the day. When it gets too close to mail the ballots they can go to a drop box, always locked up and always inside a facility. The fire chief in Wimer agreed to have one there in the fire station. That has saved a lot of folks the 16+ mile round trip to drop in Rogue River City Hall. xo
