Tuesdays get better!

I Voted!
There was a big issue in Readlyn, well the Wapsie Valley School District yesterday.
Whether or not to build a new school, and in doing so either increasing sales tax by 1% or raising property taxes $2.05 - $4.05 per $1,000 assessed value of your home for the next 2-3 years. They would be building the new elementary school in Readlyn so I think of Corina and our future children. Apparently there is one bathroom in the school and not nearly enough room for coats let alone children! I also got Mike to vote! I didn't ask him how he voted but I'm pretty sure I know! Neither of us are that keen on increasing our property tax that much but do believe in the school system so I guess we will just have to wait and see.
The 1 % sales tax passed 60% but the property tax was last at 59% when I went to bed last night.
So my whole night didn't revolve around voting! We went into Tripoli to eat at "Somewhere Else Cafe" but it was closed so we ended up with pizza from Godfathers...gas station Godfathers isn't too bad! We also drove around trying to get ideas for the exterior of the house. We plan on building a front porch next spring/summer and were trying to get some ideas. Looks like Mom will need to bring her sketch pad over and park it on the sidewalk and draw me some ideas! :)
OK well Ta-ta for now! Talk to you all soon!
