Happy Election Day

As I type this, the polls on the eastern third of the country are closing in about five minutes.  Then we can get settled in for a long, long night of election coverage. But enough of that.  I want to talk about something odd that happened this morning when the 'Rents and I went to vote.  There was a black cat running around the polls.  It would first walk around the people standing in line to sign in, and then it would go walk around the little voting stands.  Either way, it was disturbing.  Someone is going to have bad luck today.

Trivia Update

I am very, very happy to report that Team Divas came in first place tonight at the weekly trivia game.  

It was a very rough night, and I'm not ashamed to say that coming to the final round, the Divas were in last place.  But thanks to our knowledge and our wagering, we came in first.  

It's been a long dry spell since Team Divas were in first place, and we are going to bask in the glory until next Monday night.

Fall Festival Update

Pap's Barn Art had a booth yesterday at a local Catholic church's annual craft and Christmas festival.  I'm happy to report that we sold one picture and one hand-painted purse.  At least the sales covered the cost of my booth.  

Not being one to get discouraged, I'm going to be back at it again next Saturday at my church's annual Christmas Gift Shop.  Who knows? Maybe I'll slip up and sell another picture!

While my festival sales have been very disappointing, my online sales through Facebook have proven to be fairly profitable. 

All in all, I'm not giving up.  We started this venture as a family project - something that we could all do together.  We're already planning on what we will do this winter. We'll be looking for new quilt patterns and will be ready for the spring festivals. 

Quote Of The Month

A quote from the great Native American Tecumseh, before the Battle at Tippecanoe.  And I quote: 

First Smart Phones, Now Smart Toilets?

Happy National Sandwich Day

TWIT would like to wish everyone a very happy National Sandwich Day.  

You still have time to get to Penn Station and get a free six-inch sandwich when you buy any sandwich.  

And if you're still not full after that, you can get on over to your nearest Taco Bell and get a free Locos Doritos taco.  Tell them that Puddin sent you. 

Halloween Review

I think I don't want to eat anymore miniature Snickers for a while.  Just saying.  I am embarrassed to say how many Snickers (variety) miniatures we've eaten since Sunday night.  We're glad that Halloween is once a year.
