Well, we made it. Win or lose, it will be over tonight.

Here is what my love wore to work today.

We shared a grin when he came into the kitchen this morning. And a kiss for good luck.

(Heaven knows we need it.)

I voted early (and fervently), so my work there is done. But I do have other things to do for election day, and most of them, happily, involve an apron.

Here's what's on the menu for tonight:

All-American hamburgers

with

home-made french fries

and

rootbeer in a bottle (the only way to drink it)

and, of course,

home-made apple pie (my specialty).

There's nothing better to celebrate with or be consoled by

than a perfect apple pie.

Perhaps I ought to make two.
