Dear Liza,
It’s nearly the end of October, and we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel in a very long, rough election season.
Here in Oregon, we have mail-in voting. If it’s hard for you to get around, you just fill in your ballot and mail it off.
But if, like us, you enjoy the feeling of delivering your ballot safely to a protected place, you can walk it down to a ballot collection site. That’s what we did, at the temporary home of the Belmont library.
We walked down between drizzles, deposited our ballots, chatted with the librarians, and then headed across the street to Seven Virtues Coffee for snacks. Pastries and coffee are a fine way to celebrate Democracy, don’t you think?
Now we just sit tight and hope for the best come Election Day, November 5th.
Fingers crossed!
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
