Working the Polls

I worked at our primary polling site this week. We have a small site, in a rural church. There are around 500 registered voters in our township, and we had 212 come vote. It was a loooonnngg day, from arriving at 5 to getting home at 9. I got to see lots of neighbors though and really enjoyed it.


One thing that was funny was an older woman who lives about a mile from us came in complaining about our road being rough and the county not fixing it. I said jokingly, "You ought to call your commissioner." She waved her hands and said, "He ain't no good!" The commissioner is my dad!!! She either wasn't sure who the commissioner is or she didn't make the family connection, which would be unlikely. Dad wasn't amused by the story. Of course, he has learned everyone thinks their county road needs the most work.


God blessed us with an evening shower the other day, and double rainbows. He's got our garden growing, minus the potatoes that the chickens dug up. Who knew chickens could do so much damage!

Sam is back home from vacation, and the house is back to loud, messy, and perfect!
