46°f and mostly clear at 7am, warming to 81. Breezy.
Got this done today:
In this county and state, there were many races where there were no Democrats on the ticket. When I moved here, this was a strong union, Democratic state, but Ronald Reagan changed that, and now there are only a few pockets of blue in the entire state. So sad that we have little choice in the elections now. Much of my ballot was blank. Still, a vote is a vote, and we did what we could.
At least PT was good. I worked hard on the exercises yesterday, and it paid off in noticeable progress today. I didn't get to walk with the dogs today as after PT we went to Shari's for lunch, then went to vote. We walked a couple blocks to the courthouse, and I was so pleased that I could walk the distance with no pain. After voting we stopped at the antique mall and straightened things up because we had sold a table. Then home, where I talked on the phone with a dear old friend for over an hour. She called to let me know that another friend from our storytelling days had passed away. I was so sad to hear that. Bizzie Vunderdink (her real name) was a sweet, funny, kind lady. I searched my blog to find a photo of her, but found only this very blurred image. I will always remember her joy in life, her humor, and her generosity.
Life is so fickle, isn't it. One leaves, and the rest of us muddle along somehow without them. But the memories remain, and for that I am truly thankful. Rest well, dear Bizzie. You earned it.
