The Six of Us

Had an experience yesterday that shook me to the core.  For a moment (okay more then a moment) I thought that I was losing somebody very close to me.  Things are looking up today although still not where they should be.  For last night the only thing that mattered was life or death.  It seems so minor that Lee could not find the remote or that I forgot to shut the garage door.  People mattered not things.  Laughter hurt my ears.  It is so weird to say that and even odder to go through that experience.  Our mortality was called into question and I was reminded yet again that we have not prepared in the event of both Lee and I dying.  Okay we have partially but the big questions have not been written down.

I honestly hope that tonight Idahoans vote in a new leader for the state/  I have serious serious concerns about our current one. All that being said I am so so so grateful to live in a free county where I can vote.  Where my voice can be heard.  Where I can blog about how I dislike current political leaders.  I got a little emotional when I thought about it today.  To think I could have bee...
