My Civic Duty…

american flag, one room school house

Just in case you've been living in a hole… It's Election Day! I've talked about where I vote before, but I thought I'd share the quaint one room school house that is my polling place.

This is the Briles School House… not only where I vote.. but also where I had my wedding reception.

I asked how busy it was today.. they said there were people waiting outside at 6:30AM. When I arrived at 4:30 the place was pretty much dead.

We did receive snappy new voting boothes this year. In years past we had these cool boothes with fabric closures on the back. They looked pretty old school. The ladies working were not crazy about these new booths.

I was surprised how FULL our ballots were this year. They were FRONT and BACK full.. top to bottom.

The GREAT SEAL of KANSAS…

I took photos the whole time I was there. I had a woman look at me like I was nuts.. so I explained to her that I blog. She muttered "Who would want to read about what she does all day?" I just smiled and thought.. "WHO WOULD want to read about what I do all day!"

Hey guess what… I voted 🙂 and I hope you did too!

Child Labor Laws Revisited…

A few months ago I blogged about  Child Labor Laws.  Now I guess I have proof of a kid working.

#4 always wants to help with the business.  I never really have anything for him to do…

until I recently, I purchased a bunch of close-out merchandise from a beauty store.

All the product had price tags and I needed them removed.  I thought he would take

off 10 or 12 and go do something else.  But not this kid.  He worked for 2 hours

straight and took every tag off!

Some of the stickers he stuck on himself.. instead of

throwing them away.. but I was still very proud of him!
