"Like A Good Neighbor"...

I know that we all tease this guy about the amount of time he spends (or doesn't spend) in the office, but I have to tell you that his "every second counts" attitude makes my life A LOT easier because he works VERY hard at what he does & I am VERY proud of him.

Here he is in his office. I took this picture with my NEW "good neighbor" camera...yes, he ordered me a new one since I lost the last one in Brazil. I won't even mention the one I dropped in the ocean in Hawaii...or the one I dropped down the rocks while rock climbing at Camp Ritchie...I know you are probably thinking that he is taking a BIG chance by getting me a new camera - but, HEY! He loves me, what can I say?

Below you will see more of my favorite "good neighbors" - we recently welcomed our son-in-law, BP, into the club. (L-R; G'pa Fudge retired after 37 yrs in the business, Kyle's been going strong since 2003, the new kid on the block, & my personal favorite has been working hard for 30+ yrs.)

...& finally, I pray that we can all be good neighbors as we wind up this exhausting election season. I don't remember other elections being so negative & ugly as this one seems to have gotten...it is such a sad thing to witness. Freedom of Choice should be a liberating thing, yet some just can't "agree to disagree" as they attack others who think differently than they do. I urge you all to remember that we are all children of God & to be good neighbors as you support these most important issues. I also hope that you study the issues & vote responsibly.

Yes, I have already voted. I vote absentee every election because I want to take my time & study every issue so that I can make an informed decision. I do not want to wait in line & feel rushed/limited by schedules as I take advantage of such a wonderful privelege. I am proud to be an American & I am grateful that I can stand for what I believe & let my voice be heard.
