I thought I'd have to travel to Topeka to take part

in the demonstration tomorrow, and was dreading the back pain of both the drive and the standing/walking. But I got an email from Penzsys Spices today reminding everyone about tomorrow, and I checked on the link just to see if anything had changed.

I don't have to drive all the way to Topeka! This little city is doing it's own demonstration at the county courthouse tomorrow at noon! Five minutes from my house, and I may even run into someone I know! If not, I look forward to seeing who is there and how many this little burg can turn out. I'm going to take my phone with me and take pics... not that I've ever been able to get pics to show correctly here (sigh). I'm just tickled to find out there's an Indivisible chapter here in this red, red city.

Grandson is picking up poster board so we can make posters tonight, and I'm debating on whether to bring my cane or my walking stick. I have a feeling I won't be the only senior age veteran there. Anyway, I'm looking forward to it!

Plus, being at govt place, these was lots of outdoor seating around fountains and such ( at my local)
