Mothers. Daughters. Rebels.

The current political unrest reminds me how recently women were arrested and 
beaten for even trying to vote. Let's make a difference.

I took my hat and scarf to work this morning and we quickly posed the picture and antiqued it to 
model after the Suffragette movie poster. Don't look too closely. The ribbon on my coat is from 
the recent cupcake contest and the hats are from Go Red day! Thanks to my friends Amanda 
and Rebecca for playing along.

That's good! I take it you're all voting for Hillary.

Terrific ad creative photo.! Going to our Caucus on March 1st.

It certainly looks antiqued!

I like the photo. Very creative. In a personal note. My grandmother voted in every election after women won the right to vote and continued until she was 105. She was an inspiration to family and friends.

Denton, what an inspiring story and a wonderful example. Sadly, far too many U.S. citizens, eligible to vote, do not. What a waste of our hard-won freedoms. What would the Founding Fathers think?

This is a terrific poster -- and reminder, Joan.
How elegant you-all look! And just think, SC is almost out of the spotlight woods.
Cheers,

I am not sure there is any reason to assume that. That wasn't the point of the image.

It is a fun trick!

Denton, What a lady! She saw a lot in her lifetime.

It was fun to do. The phones have already been quieter. Last week I was ready to pull it out of the wall.
