I Didn't Get to Vote

I didn't get to vote this year. I had planned to, but it just didn't work out. I had to drop my car off Tuesday morning at the Ford garage for it's 55,000 mile checkup. It had a broken rear spring and it needed new front brake pads and rotors, but was supposed to be ready at the end of the day. My sister picked me up from the garage and I worked with her for a couple of hours and then she dropped me off at home. I would have had her take me to the voting place if I had known my car was not going to be ready to be picked up by 5:00 (I figured I had until 9:00 P.M. to vote). The dealership called me and said it would not be ready Tuesday, but would be ready this morning. My sister came over again, intending to take me to pick up my car, but I had not received a call that the car was ready, so around 2:20 I called them and was told they had not gotten the replacement springs yet for the car. I was not very happy. I only took the car there for the work because I thought I had to because I had the extended warranty. Valuable lesson learned. The car is only three years old and I have had to put (by the end of the current repair) almost $1800 in repairs on the car. I got totally screwed when I traded in my husband's 4x4 pick-up truck! I will never buy another vehicle from them and I will not have any further work done on the car by them!

Well enough of my rant. I move on to more enjoyable topics (once I think of them!). Well I guess one of them would be the fact that even without my vote, my would-be choices for the most part won their election.

Here's another more enjoyable topic.... I scanned in this old photo of my sister when she was a young child (around 5 years). I don't have any photos of myself at that age, but surmise I was probably almost as cute--ha ha. I also scanned in photos of my grandfather (as an adult) and my grandmother (as a child). I love photos. Maybe I'll come back later and post more photos.
