Whew, it’s 10:30 and I REALLY need to be sleeping because one of my children goes back to school tomorrow morning!  But I’m so adrenalin filled right now and had/have a few things I needed to do before I shut down for the night, including this post.

I did manage to get a few minor things done around here today but I left the house around 1:45 to head to my friends house.  I offered to be her “photographer” for an important political event today.  I quoted photographer because I’d give myself a barely passing grade for how my photos turned out, but I’m sure of the nearly 170 photos I took she’ll be able to find some that she can use!  I had the privilege of meeting some really great people today and felt honored to see history in the making!

I was able to watch a part of Toledo, Ohio history today by being present at the swearing in ceremonies for 3 new city council members.  I also watched in shock as the three new members and 9 “seasoned” members took a vote for the city council president and, with a tie breaking vote being case by our mayor, ultimately “de-throned” the man who had been president the past few months.  It was an amazing turn of events that took me completely by surprise!

But, as I said at the beginning of this post, I have one child that goes back to school tomorrow which means I have to be up at 5:00 AM, so I need to shut this thing down.  More tomorrow!
