Looks like they have the prints on their web store, too!
I wish I’d known they had this O’Keeffe before I did my guest rooms...

They also have a nifty kiosk in the gift shop where you can order fancy custom framed prints or cavases.

Sweet Jesus! Why’d you have to bring up Julie and Dolly?

Sssssshhhhhh 2016, jazzyturtleneck didn’t say anything, shhhhhhhh!

There are also the Anti-Federalist Papers and numerous other contemporary sources arguing for and against the various provisions of the Constitution, some that list still other reasoning for the functions of the Electoral College beyond the “population” and “suitability” issues.

They had some good ideas, but the way that we county up the electoral college currently is pretty far off the original intent.

Actually it has less to do with balancing the states on population lines and everything to do with keeping unsuitable candidates from becoming president. If you read the The Federalist Papers, you can get a contemporary defense of the different parts of the constitution and what they were thinking when they came up

Your Gramma is amazing. You’re lucky to have had her in your life. Even when she passes, you’ll still always have her love, the time you had together and everything she did that made you who you are. <Hugs and Blessings>

When we had our kid 18-ish years ago, we settled on Papa instead of Dad. I think it’s a matter of personal taste rather than a new fad.

I wish I could follow this witch around all day like this:

I’ve always been fond of Shelly Duvall from back when she did Faerie Tale Theatre. I do hope she gets some quality mental health care. She brought happiness and an introduction to snark to so many of us when we were kids.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that certain denominations of coins were sometimes used in a sort of diaphragm-like way.

Honestly, I think more people would vote if they didn’t know they lived in a “red” or “blue” state thanks to the electoral college. We have local representation through the congress and senate (theoretically), so why do we have to kowtow every four years to a few counties in Ohio and Florida?

We quit doing all the Turkey Day visiting/cooking crap and just enjoy a nice day off at home. It’s awesome!

Time to roll up our sleeves and get to work on the mid-terms...
