Performing our American obligation created by our freedom...

In other words...Our vote was hand delivered to the Supervisor of Elections Office in our district today; the first stop on our errands day. It was fun trying to find it too; the listed, phone book address was an old one and it had moved, but fortunately the new address was posted on the old building door where it initially was. Lesser persons, not as determined, might have given up perhaps, and there goes two votes, welcome to another possible Florida disaster.
The next was to a gas station that actually had gas for only $2.45.9 a gallon, ah like the good old days! About nine months ago?
The sad part was we were only down a quarter of a tank, we don’t go anywhere, remember, total sale $13.50!
By this time it was close to lunch time so we stopped for lunch at Bob Evans, I know I am trying to lose weight. But they have smaller portions now and a great chicken on a salad with cranberries and walnuts with vinaigrette, hmmm so good, had it once before and they even have green tea!
It was best we ate before going to the grocery store; you know the rule never go when hungry.
These days we always have a list, in the old days we did too, but sometimes I forgot it.
(That was before it became a two person deal.
Funny thing about retirement we do things together years ago we would never do, we were always going in two or three different directions.)
So we are somewhat more organized and sale items are usually purchased as well as the necessities missing from our pantry that did make the list.
When we came home I was exhausted so I literally collapsed in my chair.
I had gone for an early morning walk today too; it was cool and dry and rather lovely, so nice that I almost took a little longer one but pooped out.

My body tells me when enough is enough and I do listen, all of our bodies do, if we hear them. On the check out line, I knew I was in trouble, my right leg started going numb and I almost lost my balance and nearly fell.
Thanks to my cane I did not. This is an indicator to take a break.
But it happened again getting out of the car in the driveway when we got home, nerve racking and hasn’t happened in quite some time.
Oh well, guess I’m just tired.

Horrifyingly seven year old Julian King, Jennifer Hudson’s nephew was found dead in a white SUV today.
How awful for her and her remaining family, the child’s mother.
Our hearts and condolences go out to her and her sister.

On that sad note I will say good night to all and to all take care.
