It's Year 2013!!

I hope your year has already began with a great start. I came across this poem online and decided to share it with you. 

Be Blessed.

If it didn't bring you joy

just leave it behind

Let's ring in the New Year

with good things in mind

Let every bad memory out

that brought heartache and pain

And let's turn a new leaf

with the smell of new rain

Let's forget past mistakes

making amends for this year

Sending you these greetings

to bring you hope and cheer

Happy New Year!

Until Next Time...

Early Voters

I'm not sure if you are anything like me but I really don't like to wait until the last minute to do anything. Especially if I can help it. So, the husband and I went to vote the other morning. Thankfully, they had just opened up another voting center and we did not have to wait in line.

My middle daughter who is away in school was also able to vote early. They provided the students with transportation to the voting center.

I must say I am proud to see my daughters have their own opinion in the election and taking a stance and voting.

Did you vote early or do you like to wait until the day of the election?

Until Next Time...

You can see the spinach a little better on this one.
