Go Vote!!!

I was reading a favorite blog I read and since the author is Canadian, I didn't expect anything regarding Election Day. What I found was both amusing and irritating (in a not-seriously irritating way): "If you are American, go vote. The suspense is killing the rest of us."

I ran into several Homeschool Families (kidlets in tow) at the polling place. I'm sure the conversation was the same in all of our minivans: "Voting is a fundamental American principle. People have fought and died to get and keep the right to vote. There are places on this earth right now where people risk their lives to be able to vote......"

I feel very patriotic today. I love our Country. It is the best country on earth. I wish my children could experience all cars coming to a stop at 5pm when taps was played. Growing up on a Military Base is certainly a privilege that leaves a life long impression on your heart.

Now I'm gushing...........God Bless America!!
