Today I did my annual civic duty and voted. I voted for indivduals who I feel represent my beliefs, not the hyperbole spewed from people trying to intimidate me.  I care for the unborn, but I also care for the born who don’t have adequate care. I value fiscal constraint, but I also value quality health care for everyone. I don’t value hate or fear.

A beautiful sunrise on a brisk fall morning.

Lots of painting in the basement to prepare it for moving furniture and such down.  We still have a lot of work to do down there before its usable again… 

We had wanted to go to the OSU vs U of MN game, but with the imminent arrival of Baby Cross and the colder weather, we thought it might not be the wisest thing to buy tickets or to go to the game.  So we celebrated in style at home!
