Tonight's picture was taken in October of 2002. This was Mattie's first Halloween. Of course he was only six months old, so he wasn't going trick or treating, or wearing a costume. However, even at that young age, Mattie loved pumpkins. Not sure if it was the color (which was a favorite of Mattie's), its size, shape, or texture. Nonetheless, Mattie LOVED everything pumpkin.

We have many neighbors around us who have lived in our complex since the 1970s! Of course as we age, completing certain tasks and maneuvering around the city can become more challenging. Which is why neighbors wanted to come with us today. We could handle the directions, the logistics, and also manage any sort of safety concerns that could arise. Unfortunately in the District, safety has become an alarming issue on all of our minds. Therefore, there is more security when traveling together.
Last night, I literally pulled out a sample ballot and started doing research on each of the positions and the proposed proposition on the selling and distribution of marijuana. Needless to say, I literally looked up each local candidate running, read about them, their positions, and their platforms. Fortunately I did, because our neighbors had lots of questions this morning and I could easily pull up candidate webpages, because I had them open on my phone. I was a walking fountain of knowledge.
Needless to say, by the time we got to our polling center, we were the third in line. There were NO LINE (even when we left), everything was very organized, the polling folks were lovely and friendly, and it had to be the smoothest voting process I have ever seen. I even got to see my ballot scanned and counted!
