April 26, 2016--Happy Pennsylvania Primary Election Day!

I usually vote later in the day, but I was at the  polls this morning with Anna, because it was the first election she was eligible to vote in, and I wanted to be there.  Ironically, we vote in the gymnasium that her preschool used for outdoor play in bad weather, so as we were waiting to vote (yes, we had to wait!), we talked about her old days at Abington Friends Preschool. I loved that preschool.

But, today was a big day for Anna.  Here she is:

I can remember holding her hand as we walked into this gymnasium when she was four....

  Now, holding her voter identification card:

Waiting for the lady to find her name....how many Gallaghers can there be?

Yes, that is a hole in her elbow. And the button on her skirt is broken.  And during the winter, she wears tights that have holes in it the size of a dinner plate.    She is a mess, and she doesn't care.

This went on for about three minutes....they have asked me to work the polls, but I know better---with my personality, it wouldn't be good. 

So, regardless of who you want to vote, make sure you go vote today.  I have never missed an election, primary or general, since I first was able to vote when I turned 18.
