"Going Out of Business"

While traveling I noticed that the Frank's Nursery in the Cedarbrook Mall is going out of business. I saw their "Going Out of Business" sale signs hanging up over the store. I was quite surprised by this. The store has always been a favorite of mine especially when I'm shopping for plants and herbs for my garden.

I've heard about Sears being bought out but I haven't heard anything about the Frank's stores and I was very surprised and a little shocked that the store was closing.

Oak Lane Express Pizza?

I got their brochure in my mailbox a few days ago. I have never been to this place because I have a pizza place that I go to that's just down the hill. However my place doesn't deliver and this place does. Their food looks good and yummy plus they sell ice cream too - which my pizza place doesn't.

I may go incognito and give a review of this place!

If you have used them then let me know what you think of them.

Christmas Music Already!

I was listening to the radio last night and there was one station that was already playing Christmas music!  It kind of bugged me because I think it's too early to start playing Christmas music marathons already.  I would much rather enjoy the anticipation of the Thanksgiving Holidays before hearing Christmas music all day long!
<p>I can understand that businesses want to get as much of that Christmas crowd as they can possibly get but personally I hate listening to Christmas music being shoved down our throats so soon!
<p>Oh well, there are other stations that I can listen to in the meantime!

Loose Leaf pickup is scheduled for this Friday!

I hope I make it in time! I just didn't prepare for this in advance. There were (and still are) so many things to do!

I did get a chance to observe the area when I went to vote yesterday and at least I'm not the only one who has some raking to do!

Election Day! - Yes I went and voted!

Since my mother and I are registered in the same area we both went together. The weather was quite nice and there were a lot of people out, especially to vote. The line wasn't very crowded - though we both went around noon-time there were about 4 people ahead of us and about 6 behind us waiting in line. We didn't have any problems voting although I do think that the person that used the voting booth before me didn't cast their vote because their choice was still lit up! It's my understanding that once you press the screen where you pick your choice it will light up and then you press the "cast vote" button and your vote is counted and the screen (meaning the light) goes out so that the person after you won't know how you voted.

As always the voting booths were at the LaMott Community Center and there were several people out and about. There is a handicapped ramp for those that need it and coffee and donuts were being served just outside the community center. So if you haven't gone and voted yet please be sure to do so.
