We left for the office this morning with an intact yard.  I bounced Rick out of bed early to go vote with us.  I say bounced because I unleashed the energy of Sascha on him.  She lands on you with both feet and bounces around the bed before she settles down.  By that time, Rick was somewhat awake and it was safe to enter the room.

This was Rick’s first time to vote.  Yesterday, they were passing out Rock the Vote shirts at the college.  Rick picked up one and had it one for this occasion.  We entered the village hall and gave our names to the attendants at the table.  It’s easy.  We are the last ones in the book.  One of the judges took Rick aside to explain the process to vote in this precinct.  Rich took a picture of Rick when he came out of the hall after voting.  It was a proud day.

Work was a day of meetings and talking to people.  I ran a lunch time meeting with food provided.  By the time I was done at 2:00, I was DONE.  There is only so much up close and personal that I can handle in a day.  Luckily, Rich was ready to go early, too.

We drove up to the house and found a stack of wood in the backyard.  The contractor or subcontractor had dropped the forms off for the foundation.  This looks like the beginning of something big.  That’s big as in a garage.

I plan to take a picture every day from the same location to show the garage taking shape.  I’ve decided to stand in the garage door looking out to the construction site.  Hopefully, this gives me some perspective and shows the structure.  Follow along as we raise a garage.

In the meantime, I captured pictures of Sascha sleeping in the office as I worked.  As she sleeps, Sascha crosses her paws, even when she is lying on her side.  It’s so cute.  Just as cute as when she is sharing the big red chair with Dad.  I also got a shot of Rich and Sascha in the chair the other day.  This time it was from the back.  Sascha is hanging over the top.  It was cute, too!
