Happy Thanksgiving 2016
Just a short post to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving on this blustery day here in the great Pacific Northwest ☺ I have been invited to dinner at my friend Marisa's home with her husband Dominic and assorted friends and family members. Mom's pumpkin pie is ready to go.
I took the video of Boo yesterday, the cats are doing well, and I am trying to slowly gear up for Christmas. I am hosting the Cookie Party for the first time this year, and I want it to be nice.
This Mutts comic strip is the story of my life ☺

#He's Not My President
Mike Luckovich - November 4, 2016
Needless to say anyone that knows me, knows that I did not vote for the #orangepresident - and I am now feeling alienated from those that did, because I am left with no other conclusion than that they have just as much hate in their hearts as he does.
I had originally meant to write a post before the election, not that I thought I would change anyone's mind. Writing it now is because I am part of the over half of the country that voted for Hillary Clinton because she was the best candidate for the job. I didn't cry on election night, but I did have to turn off the TV because I could see she was losing, and it was a gut punch and surreal.
There was a very good opinion piece on The Detroit Free Press today from Brian Dickerson that hit on several things that I have felt this past week. One is that I feel like I'm going to be in mourning for the next four years. The second was that I could not understand how the same people that voted for Trump would not want him at their dinner table. But that was my problem, I kept trying to use logic through this whole election, and unfortunately his supporters weren't, and still aren't.
Every horrible thing that came out of his mouth couldn't sway his fans, while it disgusted the rest of us. Trump is mocking the 'elite' press, but I understand why they predicted that his campaign would fail the same way I did - it was because of how repulsive he is as a person. We all assumed at some point all of his crap would catch up to him and it never did.
One of the saddest things I read yesterday was the percentage of people that disliked him and still voted for him anyway. I have a message for everyone that voted for him, voted for a third party candidate, or didn't vote at all - I hope you can live with your conscience with what is to come.
Tonight I was further disgusted by his campaign manager expecting Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton to make more of an effort to unite America. Are you kidding me!?! Honey, you backed the wrong horse. The one person who should be making the effort to heal the wound in America is the same person that ripped us apart in the first place, and obviously he is not capable of either seeing this, or doing anything about it because he is not a leader. How ironic that she was calling on two people that actually are to do the job.
There's so much more that I was originally going to say, but I don't have it in me right now. I just hope that there is still an America left in 4 years for us to get a real president and get back on track.
