We also talked about the election and how this one will be done on election day and not like he said, "running a marathon and then having the guy tell you to do 10 more miles." I said I agreed because I couldn't survive another election like that although I did lose 12 pounds. He laughed at that! It all happened so fast but WOW!
I've got pictures and will post them as soon as I can. I had a heck of a time the last time so I may need some help.
