Please, a moment of appreciation for this queen (EDITED).

Last edited Thu Sep 17, 2020, 10:21 AM - Edit history (1)

A small spark of good news to share — my 100-year-old grandmother, a Florida resident, has already mailed in her ballot: “I wanted to make sure I got my vote in against Trump. I hate him!” Please, a moment of appreciation for this queen.

That was the big thing she wanted to do for her family.

This gal deserves a medal, or at least some chocolate.

May she live long enough to see through Biden's second term. Sadly nobody reading this will live long enough to see all the damage repaired from the last four years.

It would be good to track the progress of the ballot, if Florida is on the “ballottrax” system, if your county is on there yet.

100 years old person would remember the Great Depression and World War 2 very clearly.

A treasure and a blessing.
