November....

Do hope you voted on Tuesday. If your election workers were like us, they worked polls from 5:30 AM!!! until 9:30 PM!!! (and that doesn't count the 20 minutes our group waited in the cold for the custodian with the keys who overslept). We appreciated every single one of you who exercised your right to vote.

This year our local voting place was moved from the old schoolhouse (NOT handicapped accessible) to the church next door (IS accessible). I guess "separation of church and state" does not apply when it comes to voting. Dick, who has been our precinct chairperson for years, felt very comfortable with being "king for the day".



November usually brings snow to upstate NY (actually we had much more than shown but I neglected to take a photo).

Now... about that "notch" in the roof and that pile of stone rubble. Over 20 years ago when we were younger and less wise, we built a beautiful stone chimney (the younger part) without much - okay any - footing (the less wise part). And it all came tumbling down this fall when we had the building pulled into into a more upright position. "Our" plan is to have John clear away all the stone, then we'll figure out how to rebuild it - something to think this winter as we look out the kitchen window.

Plans are in the works to put leaky old Rambo back on the road the middle of December. It's a toss up whether or not John will repair the leak/s before we leave. While you & I are waiting anxiously to find out (perhaps me more than you), I'll be taking a "blog vacation". Have a good Thanksgiving and, if you're not too busy, join us December 17th for the beginning of another adventure.
