I wondered today, how the neighborhood streets could be so quiet, less than three days before Election Day? Even the porched and doors were quiet, that is, the political litter had been taken away and the mail had been collected. No problem having conversations on porches. Not even a lawn mower was stirring. The heavy mist (or was it rain?) dampened, literally and figuratively, without thunder. Politics without blare.
In the Fourth of July Parade, I heard "Alice, we love you!" How sweet to my ears. And how humbling. As our President said, "I love you back."
Today, a very busy voter hurriedly accepted my information card. A few minutes and a few doors away, I heard her call my name and say, "Alice, I'll be supporting you. I like what I see." And off she went. How kind. I'm working to get more of that! I need her vote with many more to give the love back to wonderful supporters.
