  1. Just called the county clerk's office and requested my application for an absentee vote ballot. They start mailing ballots tomorrow. Don't need a copy of any ID. She said they're anticipating a huge turnout.

    1. Well done, puddle! I am grateful that there are communities that still trust their citizens.

  2. "Jillian was very active in her parish, volunteering with the CCD Program and the Youth Group. The school library was her second home where she was a library aide shelving books, engaging in or creating other activities. She enjoyed reading and writing, sometimes staying late at school to work on writing a novel. She was kind, patient and generous, always thinking of others. She brought out the best in everyone, befriending all those she met especially her shyer and quirkier peers. Jillian was very proud to be an outspoken advocate of equality, diversity and acceptance. It was Jillian's wish before she passed away to be an organ donor to help others in need. It is estimated that her donations will help over 100 people."

    So humbling.

  4. It is not growing like a tree
    In bulk, doth make man better be;
    Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,
    To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:
    A lily of a day
    Is fairer far in May,
    Although it fall and die that night;
    It was the plant and flower of light.
    In small proportions we just beauties see;
    And in short measures, life may perfect be.

    ~ Benjamin Jonson (1573-1637)
