It goes without saying that there has been a lot going on around here this election season.  In fact, I have been keeping a daily journal of all things campaign related – and, don’t worry….  I will share my thoughts and experiences with you on that right here. And, I have lots of thoughts and experiences when it comes to political campaigns…some good, some bad and some just plain interesting!

I am also re-working this little blog of mine, which for me, is proving to be a much slower process than I’d anticipated. Maybe if I would just admit that I missed the introduction to modern technology class and allow myself some help in mastering this world wide web it might speed up the process?  Yeah….

All that, combined with the many campaign related projects taking place, the end of the school year, the kids being home AND the Legislature being out of session….  Quite frankly, it has been just a l-i-t-t-l-e bit on the hectic side of normal.

That being said, we are off and running for what will be a busy and hot summer!  Talk with ya soon!

This is really the first “official” day of summer vacation where the kids are out of school and the Legislature is out of session.  The Senator is off and running, this being an election year and all. Meanwhile,  I am longing for a chair on the beach, a fruity drink and not a care in the world.  Unfortunately, I have a heck of a ‘to do’ list most of which involves details pertaining to the Senator’s re-election campaign.  I am feeling a bit overwhelmed.

I am tired and hopeful that the Senator’s opponent will just disappear.  not likely.  Did I mention they were polling in our district?  That is always fun.  When you have constituents call to let you know that they were asked if they like their Senator…in the same sentence with ‘Do you like Barack Obama?’  NOT a good thing in Senate District 40. The silver lining is that Barack Obama is NOT up for re-election this year.

That’s all for now.  Just wanted my tired thoughts recorded for the day.

While I was hiding in a basement….some brave people in my town filmed the hail storm that passed through here yesterday:

Lots of damage. Praying for many today.

P.S. You really have to watch that video until at least the 2 minute mark to do it justice.
