That's How We Roll

I found a "copycat" recipe for the rolls exactly like they throw at Lambert's restaurant in Springfield, Missouri. I made them tonight to go with some soup. They turned out so yummy! And they wouldn't be exactly like Lambert's unless they were "throwed" so everyone had a turn throwing and catching and calling out "HOT Rolls!" Want to try them? You can find the recipe at the website recipezaar.com. It is recipe # 102734. Heads up!

Yes We Did

Our Voting Experience

The girls and I went to breakfast this morning and then ventured on to the polling place. I was glad they were out of school today because I think they will remember this day for a long, long time. I know I will. I just had a few people in front of me to vote. They checked us in at one table, then you went to the second table to get your paper ballot or wait for a touch screen machine. I did the paper ballot because it looked like it was moving faster. We were in and out in about ten minutes, which was nice. I was voter #579. Thanks to Madison who documented this historic event. On our way out it fantastic to see a plane in the sky pulling an Obama logo and banner saying VOTE FOR CHANGE! On a side note, the girls had a mock election at school among the students and the teachers. The results? Obama won with 63% of the vote among the teachers and he also won with the students by 72%.

It is Possible

Chalk it Up to Change

Well, just as a last minute reminder, the girls and I did this little project after school. I truly believe that this is about more than an election-- it is about a movement. How will it inspire you?
