Politics . . . Again

In general, I’m not a person to stereotype, but this situation screamed for me to point out how people made them fit! Here are some pictures from our vantage point on the sidelines of the local County Fair parade. Guess the political party to which each candidate belongs.

A local (write-in) candidate for the state legislature – on his feet and walking.

Incumbent running for state legislature – this is literally all we saw of him.

Candidate for U.S. Senate – This is how close he was to us – shaking hands & kissing babes & everything. Okay, maybe not kissing babes or babies. But definitely shaking hands.

The first & third pictures are of one political party & the middle one is of the other major one.

Speaking of political parties. Don’t forget to check out Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party!

Haystack Full of Needles: Still Waiting!

Awhile back, I posted that I’d ordered a book and would let you know what I thought after I read it. I pre-ordered a couple extra for some homeschool mom friends of mine and I was hoping to get them in time to pass them out at a get-together scheduled for Thursday night, July 31st.

This weekend, instead of the book (that was due to be shipped August 19th), I received a nice little note from the company I ordered from that Haystack Full of Needles has been delayed by the printer. The new ship date was supposed to be July 29th. I haven’t received notice that they shipped it, and a blog entry dated July 20th states it might be as much as two weeks late. I’m disappointed.

I’ll still let you know what I think after I receive the book and have read it. But don’t hold your breath!

County Fair = Parade Time!

Got Me Some Candy!

It is County Fair time in our neck of the woods. For the kids, that means a parade and CANDY! Here are some of the things we saw go by.

Can you tell we live in a rural area?

I will leave you with a picture of the winning commercial float.
