as we left a campsite we spotted a camper much like ours

 After I picked up the paper today and read a few things I needed to get my FP and sit in the patio for a while.  As I opened the doors a cool refreshing breeze swept across my face.  Then I sat down to enjoy the view of the small lake and preserve beyond our pool.  I thought about the election yesterday and how it will effect everyone for years to come.  I thought about growing up and remembered how my dad had brought lunch to me in the field one day in November and he was so excited about someone who had won a senate seat in ND.  That guy went on to serve for about a hundred years or so and during his last term he needed people to travel with him at all times to aid him.  I thought about the amendments that failed or passed and how they might not change my life but for sure they will affect the lives of my children and grand children.  Then my mind wandered to what I have been writing and I said for sure my grand children will not experience what I did growing up but even more than that they will not even be able to imagine my life back then.  Wait a minute, that may even be true in some part for my children.  Are we better off now than in the fifties and sixties?  I will not judge that but I do know each generation tends to think the younger generation is going to hell in a hand basket!  Well of course it has not happened but........
Oh my gosh, I just swirled my coffee cup and realized my FP is almost FM (french mud!).
