We went to the picnic at Governor Strickland's residence (that would be Governor of Ohio, Ted Strickland)
Anyhow, it was cool to be invited, it made me feel a little "A" Listish.
The best part was the adorable turtle in his pond. He was a curious little fellow who kept popping his head above the water to watch the people walk by.
The Governor's gardens were mostly impressive and we enjoyed strolling about.
I say mostly because my-oh-my the rose garden was pitiful. This is the Governor by God, his roses should be fabulous or not none at all. The rose garden could cause me to change my vote...
On the other hand - The solar system was to die for and the green house made me earth-green with envy. The solar system and green house could cause me to change my vote...
It did my heart good to see the Governor's garden was also plagued with Japanese Beetles. At least I know he's not spraying heavy pesticides.
Matt did talk with "Ted," I sat that one out, too many people milling around I was afraid of someone stepping on my newly "surgicalized" toes.
Matt was kind enough to pass along a message from me, "My wife wants to know why you can't make a U-Turn in Ohio, think of how much gas we could save if you just allowed U-Turns"
I don't know what the Gov thought but I appreciate Matt letting him know at least one of my issues (albeit not the most pressing).

Ooh, the captcha word is "festries". Isn't that great? Sounds like Danishes gone bad.
