MY ANSWERS
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
ELECTION

Breakfast ~ Did you vote this year?  If so, did you vote early and how long were the lines? Yes!  I voted early and I did have to stand in a line of about 10 people. I was so grateful I voted early because on election day the lines were extremely long!
Lunch ~ Did you stay up and watch until the winner was announced? I stayed up until about 11:30 p.m. when I was about 99% sure who the winner was.  I would have stayed up longer, but I fell asleep watching.  Dave stayed up much later than me.

Dinner ~ Do you vote straight party or cross party lines? I go down each candidate individually, but I do believe this year I ended up voting for my party on each candidate.

Midnight Snack ~ Was there a particular issue on the ballot this year (local or national) that concerned you? Yes, I was really hoping that our city bond would pass to bring in an indoor rec center.  But unfortunately, it didn't pass.  I'm sure it didn't because it would have increased property tax and most people wouldn't benefit from it.  I personally was really hoping it would pass because I would LOVE to have an indoor running track in the winter!  Guess I need to recruit more people to run in this town!
Recipe for the Week ~ (instead of your recipe for life, what is it just for the week?)
This week has been quite a sad one to see so many people forget they are Americans.  Our country has always accepted the results of a new president with grace and maturity but this one has divided our country and quite frankly made us look like little spoiled children in the eyes of the rest of the world.  I have been so disappointed with the way many have chosen to respond to the results.  We live in AMERICA!  We have the right to choose WHO we want as our leader.  Because we live in a free country, and because we are blessed to choose, that also means we need to be willing to accept what the final outcome is even if it isn't what we wanted.  We need to REMEMBER WHO WE ARE!  Especially at this moment!
