Please vote Tuesday - and send me a picture
Please remember to vote next Tuesday. Take your children with you and let them see how proud you are to live in a country where we have this right.
If you take your camera and have someone take a picture of you with your kids at the poll - don't be shy, just ask! I've worked at the polls and know that most mommies with kids come in at times when it is slower than the morning and evening rush - I will post all the pictures you email me on Wednesday next week.
Your vote counts. And you are in a position to know more than most what's most important because you are in charge of the future.
The Hand that Rocks the CradleBlessings on the hand of women!
Angels guard its strength and grace,
In the palace, cottage, hovel,
Oh, no matter where the place;
Would that never storms assailed it,
Rainbows ever gently curled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.
Infancy's the tender fountain,
Power may with beauty flow,
Mother's first to guide the streamlets,
From them souls unresting grow--
Grow on for the good or evil,
Sunshine streamed or evil hurled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.
Woman, how divine your mission
Here upon our natal sod!
Keep, oh, keep the young heart open
Always to the breath of God!
All true trophies of the ages
Are from mother-love impearled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.
Blessings on the hand of women!
Fathers, sons, and daughters cry,
And the sacred song is mingled
With the worship in the sky--
Mingles where no tempest darkens,
Rainbows evermore are hurled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.William Ross Wallace (1819-1881)

I always take my kids to vote! I'd send you a picture but this year I took advantage of "early voting" that we have in North Carolina. It gives you about a 3 week window in which you can vote before election day...that way, no excuses!!!!
