We voted this morning. I am thankful that I live in the United States. Not that I think we're perfect, but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. And even tho I've been worried about possible threats to my freedom of choice lurking out there, I am thankful that as a woman I can walk into the polling place and cast my ballot freely.
This photo was taken at Henry Ford Museum where we visited last summer with mama and PJ and Jeff. I will have to ask my mama what mammy and grandma told her about getting the right to vote.
I can't imagine NOT having the right to vote. Even tho some years I don't have a clue, I would have a hissy fit if I couldn't vote. I don't remember any dialogue about voting with Mammy or Mother. You know they lived in a time when the women worked all day on a big meal, then the men ate first, the children next and if anything was left, then the women who cooked it. I will think about it though and see if I can recall anything.
