Happy Turkey Day Raymer Family!
As always, the annual Turkey Day Festivities will be had over Wanda’s House.. you should already know the way.
As is the usual custom, the “List” is made today. Normally I’m usually involved in some way or another, but alas.. I’m not longer in Tennessee, so I can’t participate, However.. if someone emails me the list I’ll be glad to put it on the site. 
Someone.. PLEASE take some pictures.. and then SEND me an email so we can figure out how you can put em on the site.
I love you all!

So I don’t want to start a political discussion, I’m happy to see Mr. Obama as our New Pres.. but to celibrate I decided to write a small story about our First President, and a note of how elections USED to go.
My First little bit of info is simple.. when asked WHO ran the country between 1776 and 1789 before Mr. Washington was “elected” president.. the answer is.. 7 people, the First of which was Mr. John Hanson, he was elected by Cont. Congress in 1781 and served 1 year as our first president. More info may be found about him here
My Second.. as you saw last night in the Election, it’s “electoral votes” that win! Mr Washington was SOOO popular in that in the 1789 and 1792 election, he won.. 100%..
and my Third.. back then.. (until 1804) there was no Running mate, your VP was the 2nd Runner up.. which meant Different Political Parties most likley. Washington was in No Political party, and his VP Adams was a Federalist..
Just thought I’d share this interesting info.
