Good evening everybody! Well today is the big day, Election Day for the U.S. Senate and Public Service Commission runoffs. We middle class, hardworking, country folk down here in Georgia voted today, in person. We don't need politicians spending outrageous amounts of money advertising hogwash at every turn to try to badger, belittle and bully us for our vote. Disgraceful! That's all I'm going to say about that.

Now, back to school.

Today in Bible class we are studying the Divided Kingdom - the division between Israel and Judah. King Solomon certainly experienced a rise to unprecedented heights of personal prosperity and security, only to fall victim to moral weakness and political conflict. So too his kingdom, in the hands of is son Rehoboam, is headed toward disaster. Rehoboam causes rebellion among the people of Israel. Only the tribes of Judah and Benjamin will remain with him while the rest of Israel, all of the northern tribes, will appoint a man by the name of Jeroboam as their king. The division is permanent, and the fall is great. Civil conflict will last for years, as will wars with foreign enemies, who are quick to notice the vulnerability of this once-unified but now-broken people. This reads like the current state of America!

We've been taking walks after school this week. The temperature warms up after lunch into the mid 50's.

Taste test: York Peppermint Pattie vs. my homemade peppermint pattie. The York pattie definitely had that classic, refreshing peppermint taste. Mine didn't have as strong a peppermint taste but mine had more chocolate and the center was creamier. The kids both preferred mine over the York because they like a more mild peppermint tasting pattie with a thicker chocolate coating.

Taco Tuesday Night: Aaron helped me prepare a taco bar for dinner this evening, complete with Mexican Mariachi music. :o) Soft tacos or taco salad... whatever floats your boat.

Both kids helped with the cleanup.

I made a quick trip to Publix for a legal pad and a nice pen for Aaron to take with him on his first day of orientation at McDonald's.

Well, it's been another busy day. I have some laundry to put away and of course I need to get my jammies on!
Happy Tuesday y'all! Talk to ya soon!
