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 had a whole post typed out and even had a friend or two look it over.  But now I think it isn't the right time to share what I had typed and I am going to share about my newest obsession.  I love making bread.  I have tried four different kinds in the past week and as soon as the granola is done in the oven I will make blueberry granola bread.  Here is the other part. I have had like one or two pieces of all of what I have made.  I usually love bread but not lately.  It has it's purpose for sandwiches but other then that I really could do with out. Victoria isn't a bread girl either.  She prefers to just have what ever is going on the sandwich just dumped on her plate.  Lee is gone this weekend and we are having family visiting for most of the week.  So I need to do some cleaning and maybe some grocery shopping.  We still aren't sure how many people are going to be here. But we will survive.  I was going to make some cordial cherries for Lee but I am not sure I will

I think people should vote, especially if they vote my way.  ;)  However if find so interesting that people in my life are mainly Republican although some if not most of these people are receiving some sort of government assistance.  I just find it interesting that those people who are so interested in cutting back on the deficit are getting food stamps and Medicaid for their children.  Do these people understand that in order to balance the budget that some things are going to have to go?  This could be food stamps and unemployment and Medicaid. 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 been born in so many other places in this world I wa
