Still getting ready . . . sort of

Mabsie is putting the finishing touches on a butterfly costume for Vanessa's Hallowe'en. . . and as Mabsie paints and stitches, we talk about politics and and rev our motors for the Nevada experience. Apparently a significant portion of the population of California is driving east to campaign - tomorrow's potluck for volunteers has been cancelled, as the numbers became too unwieldy - so instead they sent us a list of restaurants.

We are thinking that they just might not need us, and we'll end up with a night on the Tahoe shores instead  of doing the good works we are setting out to do.
