My son set up a link from my web site to my Blog so I guess I'd better post something on it.  The election is over and Pres. Obama will continue for the next four years.  I'm glad all the T.V. ads are over and maybe now I can answer my phone without hearing one of those recorded messages telling me to get out there and vote.  I like to make up my mind early in the campaign and get my ballet to the box at the library, then I don't have to worry about it.  Here in Washington we no longer go to the polls to vote.  We receive our ballets in the mail and we can either mail it in or take it to the county library, which is what I do.  I am such a conservative that I am disapointed with the outcome of the election. So, yes, Laura I'll be listening to Johnny Cash for the next 4 years. Life goes on and I'm excited about the future.  My grandson, Matthew is in a high school play and I'm thrilled to be able to see him in it.  I'm told he has a big part.  I'll report on that soon. Then Natalie, my granddaughter will be in the Nut Cracker Ballet in December and I'm thrilled to be able to see that and I'm praying the weather will hold through Christmas.  This will be my first Thanksgiving and Christmas without my dear husband, George, so the holidays will be bitter sweet.  God bless you all and let us continue to pray for our country.
