election post...funny

this is a pretty funny story!   eric has been asking quite a few questions lately about the election.  who you voting for daddy?  what does it mean when someone says he is too liberal? stuff like that...

well, he stayed at meme's last night and went to the polling center with her to vote today.  meme's neighbor has an obama sign...eric thought he ought to make his own sign.  ON HIS OWN...he came up with the idea to make this sign!  he took it to the polling place with him, after they finished up, they decided to go have a picnic.  eric wanted to take his sign with him...that's fine...but they had to park in front of the taney county democratic headquarters!  they noticed eric's sign and had to come out and visit with him.  i am not sure how that conversation went...but i would have liked to been able to listen in.  

so, we had no idea of any of this until late this afternoon...we had arranged to pick eric up at the hwy EE and hwy 65 intersection at 5 PM.  we had heard of the sign...but were not prepared to see what we saw as we exited off of the highway!  this picture was taken at 5:00 PM on the side of the hwy EE....  kim and i died laughing!!

eric's grumps (grandfather) had asked him...who are your parent's voting for?  eric answered... i don't know.  he made his own decision.  he based it on an ad he saw on tv...something barack obama had said that eric thought sounded ugly.  another funny thing about the sign was where it found it's home.  papa (my dad) is an obama supporter... so, he got the sign in his yard!!!!

i hope you voted.  i can not believe how great of a nation we live in that we are allowed to pick who will lead our nation.  i can not fathom the sacrifices of those who have went before me and my son, those who gave their life for our right to cast a ballot.  i hope you teach your kids not to trash anyone because of what they believe, but you teach them to stand up for what they believe. i hope you can agree to disagree and pray for all of our leaders.
