When I Grow Up

From email forward, too funny not too share:
A first grade girl handed in the drawing below for a homework assignment.
After it was graded and the child brought it home, she returned to school the next day with the following note:


Dear Ms. Davis,

I want to be very clear on my child's illustration. It is NOT of me on a dance pole on a stage in a strip joint. I work at Home Depot and had commented to my daughter how much money we made in the recent snowstorm. This photo is of me selling a shovel.

Presidential Inauguration Celebration

All I could think on this day was "Holy Crap - It's REAL!" My heart was filled with great emotion to see the inauguration oath and parade, truly a full day of celebration. I had never publicly outted my choice for presidential candidate preference, or any politician for that matter. Truth be told I am a bipartisan voter who has voted in candidates from both parties. This year was the exception. I not only disclosed my choice I also campaigned for my choice and hit the road to canvass at strangers doorsteps. It all paid off and I am hopeful this change will make the difference.
