Referendum News
Much to our disappointment, the referendum did not pass. It lost by 53 votes. That’s it. Now Bill and I have some major decisions to make. Madison won’t be in the school district for 2 years, so hopefully they can get something figured out in that amount of time. We talked about moving, but this could happen in the school district we move into too. I think at this point, we are going to stay put and see what happens. It isn’t like we live in a rich school district (most of the cars here don’t have billet grilles), but I expected that people would step up and help the kids. I guess not. I wish these people could go out to Will County and see how people are getting taxed out of their homes (I know, we were one of them) out there. Trust me, the taxes here aren’t bad at all — even with an increase the referendum would have brought.
Christmas Cards
What to do — what to do. Here is my Christmas card dilemma — do I go to Sears and have some Christmas cards done? That is what I have done the last couple of years. However, I could set up a little studio here and take some pictures tomorrow in front of the Christmas tree (well, that is, if we actually get the tree up). Then I could upload the picture to my computer and either just print out pictures to include with our Christmas cards or head over to Walgreens and do their picture cards. Then I wouldn’t have to wait 10 days or more, and it would be a lot cheaper since I need to order over 60 cards! Decision, decisions. I have checked the cards we have gotten so far. A couple of my friends have went the professional route, some took a picture they took over the summer and used that, some took a recent picture and just shoved it in the card, and some used their kids school pictures. Well, that sure didn’t help me decide. On the subject of Christmas cards, I am not a person who writes up those “Christmas letters”. I don’t think anyone wants to know that I found a good deal over at www.corvetteguys.com or that Madison is fully potty trained. (Now, if you send out those letters, more power to you. I do not.) Which brings me back to where I started — how do you do your Christmas cards and what should I do?
