VOTING DAY TRADITIONS

Well today's the day! It's finally here. The day to cast our votes.

I'm so happy. I'm really tired of the phone calls telling me who to vote for and what to say YES or NO to. Don't these people think we have a mind of our own?

I'm tired of hearing all the bashing on He said/She said stuff. Tired of all the commercials. Tired of the jokes. Just tired of it all. Let's move on.

My voting place is at our local Fire Department. It's about a block away from where I live. Where do you have to go to vote?

Every year my sister and I take the dogs for a little walk up to vote. We cast our ballots and walk around the park that is right next to the Fire Department and then come home. We drop off the dogs and then go have lunch.

It's become our little tradition. We always go together and the dogs always come with us.

My other sister, Maureen, does not come with us because every year she volunteers at the voting booths. Isn't she great! She gets up before the sun comes up to set up everything and doesn't get home until the polls close. It's a long and tiring day for her but she loves it.

How about you? Do you have a tradition on voting day? Do you listen to all those phone recordings or just hang up? Have you ever voted a different way because of a commercial or phone call? Do you vote?

Hugs,
Joanne
