Darn, I wanted to send a pic of my 2 granddaughters decorating postcards for Sherrod Brown. Ohio is a long way from Seattle! They don’t know a Sherrod, but they know Kamala.
Fantastic article! My husband and I were in Lakewood this weekend with family; when I returned home on Sunday, I heard that Sherrod had been in Youngstown! I had not heard he was coming, or I would have attended for certain!
If I had known you were lunching at Lily's I would have run down the street to meet you! I live about a block away. So, if you ever need more Dayton restaurant recommendations, let me know!
Oh Connie...so enjoyed reading this...somehow on FB I began to get linked to posts from the Kings Life Guards. I'd never heard of them before, but they are uniformed guards on horses out in all weather outside Buckingham Palace. I hear/read the horses are not abused and in fact treated well. They seem to have video constantly rolling which gets posted, or tourists post videos, but there are signs posted about how the horses should not be touched or how they might kick or bite...and yet everyone is just drawn to them and wants to pet them or say hello. The guards, on duty, apparently are not to speak although they can nod...and once in a while there will be a warm smile especially if it should be a child and/or one with a disability but dare anyone touch the horses reins and they will be bellowed at for a major sin of doing so. I would have fantasized about going to visit maybe someday, but I know I would be drawn to them and wouldn't want to get in trouble...but they are such beautiful and understanding creatures...so glad you got to meet them on the farm...I think you should put together a book of adventures on the campaign trail...with pictures of course. I'd say good luck, but I feel confident....as I await my absentee ballot which are not being mailed until at least tomorrow. And heck, I am over 50:-) And...my pup votes too.!
Another wonderful post from the campaign trail. Thank you, Connie. I live in Kentucky with two rotten Senators. I like to pretend Sherrod is ours.
At any rate, made another contribution to the cause. Ohio deserves better than that knucklehead .
Also copied the link to the postcard writing site.
Those horses were happy to meet you too. I live about 15 miles from Old Friends retirement farm for racehorses. It’s a great place. Visitors feed carrot slices or shreds if the horse has lost some of his choppers to age. Location is in Scott County just outside Georgetown.
One of the new arrivals is Big Brown. He is setting in and romping and playing in his paddock.
Eager to celebrate Sherrod’s win with everyone who voted for him and those who wish we could have.
Come to think of it, if I ever had the privilege of meeting Sherrod, I believe I would be hopelessly compelled to call him "Senator," because that's what my parents would have wanted. Being given permission to call him "Sherrod" would be quite a thrill. I got back in touch with one of my high school English teachers recently, who retired to Scottsdale after ending his career as Superintendent of the Ontario (OH) school district, and it took me a while to call him "Daryl" and not "Mr. Hall." You might know him, Connie, as he graduated from Kent State in 1974, I believe, the same class as Steeler legend Jack Lambert, who was his teammate on the football team.
Fascinating and appalling how Republicans cannot comprehend that many people are as concerned about other people's wellbeing as their own. You'll forgive me if I think most of them are Democrats.
I love your updates. I'm writing postcards as we speak from Buffalo, because Sherrod is good for the soul of this nation. As are you, madame. Thank you for being you.
kudos Connie for keeping the faith as you do. if I were still an Ohioan I'd be out stumping with ya'll. Still, watching his opponent makes me nauseous. Hoping for Sherrod's return to the Senate.
I loved your unexpected and touching riff on shy cow…
No one mentions the baby… and it’s “bodily autonomy”

Thanks for taking us along!
Delightful column and photos.
Now I want to go pet a horse.
Instead, I’m glued to The Weather Channel.
Furious with Gov. DeSantis.

Horses really do "hear" your heart. Scientific research has confirmed it. https://www.heartmath.org/resources/videos/symbiotic-relationship-between-horses-and-humans/

Love this! So hopeful 💙and I bought your book😉looking forward to reading it.

Not an Ohio resident, but rooting for you! No going back!
Proud to be way over 50 and voting for Sherrod!
