Thought I would tell you a short story before I forget it (and that is pretty easy)!
As many people know I am a Conservative person ready to get rid of these elections. They have been a bore for such a long time, but one of the candidates I abhore. He came into my eye sight years ago when he ran for Senator from Chicago. I KNEW he was bad news then and I haven't changed my mind one iota. Just to think of saying his name turnes my stomach.
As you may or may not know I have living in my basement, two Latter-day Missionaries (but for the past several weeks I have had anywhere from two to six, but that's another long story, which I will need to keep to myself for the next year or so, to protect the names of the innocent). Anyway, all the Missionaries who have lived here know for certain I am a strong Concervative and do not keep my light under the bushel. Yesterday, after spending the most wonderful day with friends at the Temple and visiting a dear friend, who is very ill, I came home to a horrific scene, which made me very annoyed. More like furious. Someone had taken down my McCain & Palin sign along with my other signs encouraging others to vote for the conservative ticket and replaced it with the Socialist candidate sign. I parked the car in the garage, walked very purposely to that "other" sign and tried to rip it out of the ground. It wouldn't come out of the ground, so took off the plastic sign and uprooted the metal stand. I found the name of the person, who owned the sign in the past and stalked into the house. Three Elders were standing in the kitchen starting dinner. I didn't even say "hello", but started to go to the telephone to call the past owner of the sign. From what I was told, my face was was pretty red and set to explode. Elder Rindlisbacher stpped out of the kitchen and as I passed him, he said, Sister Flitton, we have something for you. I was so set on talking to the past owner, I hardly heard him, but when he shoved some cookies in front of me and said, "WE DID IT!" On top of the cookies was a note of endearment: O = Outstanding
B = Best host
A = Always Loving
M = Mother away forom home
A = Anti-obama
Sister Flitton, Love, all three of your Missionaries, who voted for John McCain.
We love all you do. Elder Brown Elder Rinlisbacher Elder Porter
Of course we all laughed so hard, it took us at least ten minutes to stop. Elder Rindlesbacher told us that he had been thinking up this prank for two weeks. But when I walked in with such an angry look on my face, Elder Brown became afraid. What a great bunch of Elders. I love them and hope we can meet again after they all leave and I am so old that I can't have them in my home any longer. I really admire these young men, who spend two years of their lives doing the work of the Lord. Elders R and B are zone leaders and they have had the most confusing three weeks hey have ever had. They have such responsibilites as no other young man their age who is not a zone leader. May God bless them for many years to come.
Now for those who read this stuff, who are loving to do blogging, you haven't convinced me yet
to post daily, weekly, or monthly, or even bi-monthly. I wish you well in your endeavers to keep life happy and fun. As for me and my blog, it saves me from writing my journal. AND for you who know how to put pictures into your blog, know that you are an elect people. I love you.

That is one of the funniest things I've heard. I'm so glad that someone's prank worked...since the last one I tried on April Fool's Day backfired! Good for the elders...I am proud of them!
