Early Voting and the Rest of Our Monday.....

We purposed to get out and vote as soon as we were out of our stupor time.

Coffee, Bible reading - we are in Judges now - and the ending of one of the '30 Stories to Remember' - a book Louis Dean bought back in the spring. It was published in 1962 and cost $2.

We are three quarters of the way through it and the one we just read was The Company of the Marjolaine by John Buchan. I told him to be careful what books he buys for us because we.will.read.them.

He confesses that most of the stories have been over his head but there's been a few golden nuggets he's enjoyed.The one before this one was 'A Profile in Courage' (from Profiles in Courage) by John F. Kennedy. It seems conflicts in politics have been going on since the beginning of our country.

I love early voting!

You can get out and get it done!

I dressed up like a doily for the occasion. 

We drove in separate vehicles and he did his errands and I did mine.

One of his was to take my old desk top computer up to the Geek Squad to have his programs and files moved over to it. His computer is an old one that has lived longer than most. He had it long before we married and that was over 13 years ago. The Geek Squad loves Louis Dean. They give him royal treatment and go above and beyond what they are paid to do. Thomas was sad to deliver the news to him that his trusty old computer may not last much longer. There was talk about the mother board and such. I'm just impressed that at nearly 82 years of age that Louis Dean is as computer savvy as he is!

To show our appreciation, I came home and baked a dessert for them.

I sent the entire cake to them and it did smell delicious!

Life is all about relationships.

I love to cultivate and enjoy them.

People are so responsive to kindness.

When Louis dean took the cake back up there - along with napkins, bowls and spoons - Thomas said, "You didn't need to do this."

Louis Dean said, "I didn't! Linda did!"

I love giving my 'Brownie' points to LD!

Louis Dean carried it up  there in this nifty carrier.

We bought it at a garage sale back in 2005 when we first married.

It is hand made and such a great way to transport a hot dish.

I did a good bit of housework this evening while Louis Dean was struggling with passwords and trying to access one of his accounts.

Bottom line - passwords and security questions are hard to remember - no matter what age you are.

The key is to write them down. 

After several phone calls and a long long time......I convinced him to give it 24 hours by which time his account would be unlocked and I would help him change his password and regain access.

We retired to the driveway - wearing sweaters - and sat and sipped our wine.

Feet up and enjoying this beautiful October night!

Then we came in and he played music while I painted.

I do so love our life.

I'm grateful for every day we have together.

I hope I never take my blessings for granted......
