A Woman In The White House?

I don’t care what side of the political fence you fall on (and I never write about politics on this blog), but it’s a very exciting day when an African American man is running for president and the Republican party names a woman as VP running mate (a “hockey” mom of five who was working three days after the birth of her fifth child, who has Down syndrome.)

Could we have a woman VP in the White House? What do you think? Any undecided voters out there? This is now shaping up to be a very exciting election to watch on both fronts.

Rest in Peace Meredith

The hubby and I have been following the news about missing hiker Meredith Emerson. We were just in the North Georgia mountains in May celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary, and I snapped this photo at the edge of Lake Vogel. It’s an area we love and one that holds special sentimental value for us.

I can’t imagine what her family is going through right now.
