Sweet Sleeping Siblings

I arrived home the other night and found Katie asleep in bed with her life-sized doll Ella. Ella was a gift from Santa two years ago when Katie asked him for a sister. She has gone from being a big sister (and taller than Katie) to a younger sister now (and of course, smaller). Katie would have been a wonderful big sister. She is so tender and sweet with Ella. Of course Ella is the most well-behaved and agreeable little sister around.

Is it Audacious to hope?

This is not a political blog and I have no intention of dragging a soapbox in to this venue; however, for the first time in a long time I feel hopeful about the political prospects for America.
Hats off to Iowa for showing us how to turn up on voting day.

As reported by MSNBC.com:
"A wide-open race in both parties sparked a turnout far exceeding previous contests.Projections showed a turnout of 220,588 for Democrats, compared to 124,000 who participated in 2004. Most projections had estimated turnout would be about 150,000."

Amen!
