Wow, have I been away or what !

     I think it has almost been a month since I was here.  You know life just gets ahold of you and you have a hard time getting lose.  There are just too many things that go on, in which you, yourself, have no control over.  That is where I have been and I hope to never end up there ever again.  Have I ever missed being here.  This is the place to be.  It's home, its comfortable and homey.  Just where I want to sit back, put my feet up, have my earl gray tea, steeping in my favorite cup, beside me.  Oh, I think this is the closes to heaven I can be, without actually being there.  Now then, let's get down to talking. 
     Our election is over here in CA.  What a race it was.  Let's just say, some people found out the hard way, it doesn't matter how much you spend it does not guarantee you will be elected.  The more you spend does not mean you will win.  I think some people forgot our country should be run like were a family.  The adults in Washington, (Now don't start laughing) are like the parents and each state is a child.  They set up money for each of them along with programs and such.  It's sad really how some people in office think it should be run like a business.  Think about it, wouldn't we all be a lot happier and our country would run smoothly but (there is always a but) then how would the wealthy keep getting more money.  What surprises me is some of the people I have met at swim class, who are retired teachers, retired professors, mostly professional and what I would call intelligent.  Well, I do get fooled by how they do not think for themselves.  If they hear it on TV and this man said it, then It must be true.  Come on people.  No matter what he, she or any one has said, take it all in, ask some questions and decide for yourself.  Nine times out of ten that person was twisting the real facst and you were not getting the full or real story. 
     Ok, that's it for me tonight.  I'll be back on the soap box tomorrow. 
     Happy Birthday Mom, where ever you are !        Tootles
