This morning Dale and I went to vote. We did not get the leftovers (although, several have bowed out since last Tuesday) and it was great not have to choose the lesser of two evils.  In year’s past, the primaries have been “decided” before we even voted. We walk in and voted.

What a roller coaster emotionally the past two weeks have been.  There are some great things going on here at Preston. On the other hand, Pam’s family is going through a great trial at this time.
