election day

election day is always such a source of community pride here, as i imagine it is in most places. good to see neighbors and friends at the polls, to visit with the ladies who bake for the scholarship fund, to stand around the wood stove and talk town politics. and to help shape the nation, from our small corner of it. 

tonight i am on pins and needles, like much of the rest of the country.

Election night must have quite a different feel in a small town than a big city. Much more personal...

I went home after staffing my party's booth and went to bed. I honestly thought the results would not be in for days! Cut and dried by midnight...who knew?

Your photo is so Americana! We still have an old Grange Hall near our camp that has a wood stove...I love that!
