Buttons Madi's funnier half is proud to sponsor this  PSA from our Mayorial Doodz

You may not realize it BUTT being the Mayorz of Blogville is a lot of work! BUTT we could not do it without the help of a great staff!  However, we still put in a lot of hours!

After working all day in the office we often continue to work at home into the wee hours.

Since our term is coming to a close we have been meeting with prior mayors Madi & Frankie as well as the candy dates Arty and Chris   We have gone over the election rules and all the impawtent stuffs to make sure we have a fair election and smooth transition. 

We have nominated an Election Judge and Poll Verifier.  Then we nominated Alternates to serve in case one of the others cannot pawform their duties.  Then we had to hold Confirmation Hearings with the candy dates to make sure no one had objections with any of the nominees.  It was a lot of work!

So today we are pleased to announce the names of these outstanding citizens as well as provide all citizens with an official copy of the rules and regulations regarding voting for mayor.  So without further ado . . .

Election Judge for 2016 Mayoral Election is . . .

Saturday Photo Hunt:Travel

We love Saturday Photo Hunt click

here for a list of words

Today's word is....

T R A V E L

This is a passenger train.  Every Saturday my peeps see it from Seaboard Cafe which sits right by the tracks.

It has an engine on the front and the back.  WHY? because this way it doesn't have to turn around...(pardon the blurry photo)

 This train TRAVELS from Raleigh to Charlotte and back every day

Mom took photos of the passenger cars...but they were  blurry too.  The names on the cars all describe something native to NC, Sweet Potato, Plott Hound,(state dog)Core Sound, Scotch Bonnet (a sea shell), Long Leaf Pine, Cardinal (state bird) and Dogwood (state flower)

It is named after the Seaboard railroad that was located here years ago.
That is Dad's arm...

Seaboard Cafe has outside and inside dining and pups are welcomed to dine in the outside area.

  My peeps have been having lunch here nearly every Saturday for the last 20 years. The food is delicious....

This is their lunch from Saturday 9/24/16

Mom had pistachio chicken salad and yogurt fruit salad

Dad had old fashion chicken salad sandwich, on toasted wheat bread 

 They shared a cranberry and walnut  cookie.....
Rick the owner and his staff are very friendly and they all seem like family to the peeps.

The scenery is fantastic if you are a train brain like my Dad!! CSX freight train is on it's way to pick up freight to travel to who knows where.  It also passes by on these tracks during lunch

Seaboard Cafe sits in the middle of their favorite garden and gift shop Logan's Trading Company. 

Some day very soon, my peeps plan to Travel from Raleigh via car to the Cary Depot.  Where they will hop on the Piedmont to travel to Burlington, NC.
If you promise not to laugh,  I'll tell you why!!
Dad's Train buddies told him there is a fantastic Hot Dog
joint in Burlington (50 miles from Cary).  It is very near the train station.  You can hop off eat lunch then an hour later catch the train back to the Cary Depot.  I know crazy right but I hear that is what retirees do!!
No worries there will be photos to document this momentous
travel!!
Hugs Madi 
PS I won't be going
