Election Day NON-Watch Plan

 Election Day - Non- Watch Plan

    We cast our votes for Joe Biden two weeks ago in early voting here in Louisiana.  

    We were the only two votes for the Democratic ticket (Clinton) in the 2016 Presidential election in our ward or district in Avoyelles Parish.

    Now turning our attention to getting through the Election Day coverage.

    The pain of the 2016 Election Day tally is still fresh.  PTSD resonated each week of the past four years as we all endured the sheer idiocy and buffoonery of the current Cheeto in Chief.

    So now we make our media silent plan for the day.  After being media sponges for weeks leading up to the election, a media drought for the day of the big event seems appropriate. A strategy is needed.

TENTATIVE PLAN:

Lock cell phones in trunk of the car.

11:00am -3:00pm  

Plein air painting session and picnic in Cheneyville, LA at favorite and historical Trinity Episcopal Church and cemetery.

Episcopal Church, Cheneyville, LA

I have painted this church a few times and it never fails to offer an enticing view.  The historic graveyard surrounding the church is backed by fields of sugarcane - always dramatic.

4:00pm  Return to home base.

4:00pm - 8:00pm Begin Lifetime Christmas movie viewing marathon.

8:00pm - Bonfire - burn unwanted paper, tree limbs from recent storms and hurricanes and disperse fears of loss of democracy in U.S.

10:00pm  

First media break - Check for Washington Post headline and CNN update.  Only 10 minutes allowed.

10:15pm

Begin viewing of top ELECTION DAY movies (this is a harder choice than one would think):

Election Day Plan on the Horizon

March 2020:  Here we are suddenly sitting at home as never before.

Art making suddenly felt self indulgent - even a self centered activity.

 

Then suddenly arts and crafts were a focus, a means to keeping anxiety and rowdy youngsters now pent up at home at bay.

We made masks all Spring and summer.  We filled over 2000 mask orders, bought 3 new sewing machines and sewed 7 days a week for months. https://www.etsy.com/shop/VintageSouthernArt?ref=seller-platform-mcnav

Then the 2020 Election loomed closer and closer.

We painted the AT&T pole out front to urge all to VOTE!

Our special Election Day plan involves a spin the bottle choice, Lifetime TV (maybe) and a special church graveyard.

STAY TUNED!
