Good for you working on Election night! I feel just sick to my stomach at this point — worrying about the election and what’s going on NOW. Isn’t it funny how I was totally wrong on — on that bike path pic? Amazing. But it is NW at least, ha. Portland is a great place. I was so impressed with it … when I was there in 2019.

You’re close- in the right region, but wrong state. I took that photo years ago in Vernonia, Oregon. We lived in Portland for 5 years and it’s where we want to go back to for retirement. I use the photo all the time because it is so perfectly fall!

Yay to the ballot! I dropped ours off and have painted my nails this gorgeous Blue Wave color so doing what I can. Also, I’m working Election night as a ballot sorter.

I keep hoping if I say it, it will be true, but it is hard. Reading always helps!

You’re doing more than that! You’ve got fabulous engaged new adults you’ve raised to make a difference. Plus, you’ll all vote!

I got wet a lot. I still hope to get to 28 Summers and Knock at Midnight. Thanks for your reviews on those … ps. I got my U.S. absentee ballot in (to the state of Virginia) and I’m starting to feel a bit better that we have a good chance to win this election and change the path the U.S. is on …. do not despair … keep fighting! though not sure what to do about Supreme Court push … ugh

Blech. BUT, I did read some great stuff. That’s about all I can do.
