Today is election day and I am so excited. I truly have not been this excited about a presidential election in...well, probably never. I have such high hopes for what can be. I just hope it all turns out as I hope.
I had to stop at Wal-Mart last night to pick up some medication for my mother. She has a bad cold and cough. She called her doctor's office and I was really surprised that they didn't want to see her, yet they called in a prescription for cough medicine and some antibiotics. I'm not sure I agree with handing out antibiotics like Halloween candy without knowing for sure you are dealing with a bacterial infection, but hey, what do I know? So, I go up to the counter and the cough medication is $40 for a 2 ounce bottle. Huh-uh...it is NOT!! I talked at length with the pharmacist and while I understand she doesn't sit there all alone at night and just decide to jack up the prices of crap willy nilly, I still felt I needed to voice my opinion. I mean, if I hadn't paid for it mom would have never picked it up because she couldn't afford it. Criminy, I should have just tried to buy the crap on the street...I'm sure it would have been much cheaper.

Dear Ruth,
I LOVE your photos.....what a dream vacation for you. How wonderful of you to take your Mom. I love fall too, and have taken a gazillion pictures, but mine pale in comparison to yours. I check your blog every day to see if there are more! You are an amazing person Ruth, and more talent in one finger than I have in my whole body. xo Judy
