Political Bombardment

   It has been a busy season for substituting with nice pretty mild weather. All of the flowers in the planters are still alive and thriving though they usually are faded or dead by now.  George McGovern died Oct.21 at the age of 90. In 1972 he was the Democratic candidate for president and I campaigned and voted for him but he was too liberal for America and lost by a landslide though in reality he spoke the truth about the Vietnam War.  Each month continues to bring record temperatures as September rated the warmest ever for the USA.  The Tigers won the American league pennant but were swept by San Francisco in the World Series.  One more week until the presidential election so hearing and seeing politics fills all the gaps that money can buy.  Jon announced to us yesterday he is engaged to be married.  Grampa has been in the hospital since last Wednesday with pneumonia. We are in the process of painting the family room and ceiling as well as replacing the fan and shower door.  The winds of change blow and yet so much stays the same.
