Well, my Mom is upset with me for not blogging as often as I said I would, so this one's for you Mom!
Today is a pretty busy day for us. We all got up this morning so I could go vote and we could go look at a car. If you don't know, Sedgwick County is voting whether or not to allow a casino to come here. I voted a big yes. For one, it could be very good for the family business. Secondly, it is inevitable that a casino is coming to the area. I would rather it be here then 10 minutes down the road. That way we don't just get the problems, but the benefits as well. The tax money from the actual casino would be good, but I am thinking more in terms of advancing our city. We live in a bigger city and I think we need to start accepting that fact. We need to be able to draw conventions and tourism to Wichita. Nothing that is currently here is working, and I think a casino could possibly change that. If we could get Cowtown back up and running (thanks to Ethridge the Crook and Prairie Rose moving there) and maybe even Wild West World bought and revamped, it just might draw some people in. Then they might see that Exploration Place is a pretty cool attraction and we have a beautiful art museum and Botanica, etc... None of these things can really bring people to town on their own. A casino would help in my opinion. Then the arena (which I voted a big NO for) might actually work. We could bring in some big names for concerts and shows.
Anyway, to get back on track, we came home and ate lunch...Nat only wanted pancakes...went to work, and then spent a little time across the street at my best friend's house. We still have to run to the grocery store for chips because tonight is the block party for our neighborhood. I am not all that excited about it because it is so damn hot out, but I do like connecting with all the neighbors every now and then. So we will go for a little while, but I won't keep the girls out too long.
Is it horrible that it is only 4 in the afternoon and I already cannot wait for the kids bedtime?!? I borrowed some scrapbooking tools from my friend and I can't wait to use them! I should be excited for some alone time with my hubby, but I really just want to cut out letters! I am a bad wife! I guess it counts as quality time if he is downstairs watching a movie and I am down at my scrapbook table! At least we will be on the same floor!
I will try to post pics soon. The computer still won't let me download them!
Oh, and you're welcome Mother!!!!(love you)

Thanks, Sweetie! You know the first thing I do when I get to work is check for new blogs (and Pictures of my dear granddaughters - but, I know, I know). Anyway, you know I agree with you about the casino, and especially the slots at the Greyhound track. Alas, this morning we know that the holier than thou took another election. I feel like Karl Rove came to town. I think they will regret this vote. However, they would never admit it. I really believe a lot of people who were saying 'yes' secretly voted 'no', and I don't know why except they don't want anyone else to have any fun if they aren't, and apparently they don't like to gamble. I don't either, but I think it would have added to a more 'fun attitude' in this town. Oh well, as an old hippy, I'm very used to being on the losing side of elections. haha. Anyway, Lon, thank you for blogging!! I love you.
Not that it matters but,... if the casino is only "10 minutes" down the road no one will have to travel too far to "have fun". I was shocked with the final vote, but I know I got two calls the night before about voting no. I think the "yes, yes, win, win" took for granted they would win. In politics I think people vote for what they see or recognize more. Which can be very unfortunate- we all should make our own decisions. Not a peer pressure thing.
How is the car search going?
No you are not a bad wife, there's been times when the kids are gone and I kick Jon out of the house too!! If I know he's having fun I don't feel too guilty about not spending the time with just us.
