I planned last week to make a Waste Not Want Not Wednesday post when I came out of New 2 You Consignments in Ilion, NY and saw the mural painted on a wall opposite.
So artistic!
I believe they have had community events in that space. I will have to watch when they will have more. It will make for a good blog post. Having taken one good picture, I had to look out for more. That was where I didn’t get so lucky. Then I had an opportunity to wear one of the new earrings I got at The Mustard Seed in Little Falls. Perhaps you read my blog post about them. As regular readers may recall, I like to wear three different earrings. It is a thing with me.
I can’t pretend I take a good selfie, but I do my best with what nature gave me.
Yesterday was the vote for the school board budget. It is one’s civic duty to vote. We do not hear much about duty these days, but it used to be a big deal. In the Agatha Christie books I delight in reading, the characters can usually get each other to do things by telling them it is their duty. So I told myself it was my duty and went to the Junior/Senior High School, where voting took place. A nice police officer opened the door for me. I laughed, because there was a Visitor’s Door and a Student’s Door both opening into the same hallway.
“The teachers want us to vote yes, right?” I asked a teacher-looking person as I walked into a library. He assured me they did, and I said I would do what the teachers wanted.
“Unlike what you did in elementary school,” he speculated.
On the other side, I was wearing the butterfly earring again.
I took a selfie with my I Voted sticker. Steve and I used to take an ussie with our stickers, so I thought I would continue the tradition. I also continued the tradition of putting the sticker in the TV Journal. Of course the selfie isn’t as fun as the ussie, but one does what one can.
See? Much more fun with two!
This is from November 2018. Steven and I did have fun.
