We Are Alive! November 21st, 2024 County Convention

(Edited)

Last night my wife and I attended the county convention to select a new executive board for the County party. I'll spare all the politics of the evening.

Dinner with my Wife (and baby)

The highlight of the evening for both of us, is going out for diner before the convention! It's a rare opportunity for us to get out and enjoy a meal at a restaurant, just the (almost) two of us!

We enjoyed bar food, but it was really good bar food. A small Blue Moon Belgian wheat ale, a fried chicken wrap and a generous portion of french fries. Not the most photogenic meals, but I have to blog about food to keep up the trend! It really was delicious.

Finally Met Ron Robinson!

After our diner, we got to the convention early just as the doors were opening. This was good because parking was difficult if showing up late.

Another highlight of the evening is finally meeting the man whom I have been door-knocking for all this time. I shook his hand and told him it was a pleasure campaigning for him. Turns out he also knocked a lot of doors, almost 12 thousand! I knew this because I would sometimes see his door hanger saying "sorry I missed you."

A Long Convention

It was a late night before we got home. We left at 5 and got back around 11 pm. We've had later conventions, but this was still a very long meeting. It was supposed to begin at 7, delayed to almost 8 and should have been over in an hour or so. Instead it dragged on getting later and later and later.

So these conventions seem to go. Giving the outcome of this convention, I predict meetings like these will become a lot more efficient (for better or worse) and not go extremely late anymore.

This is good at least!

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.

Nice that you had an evening out! We're loving that our oldest kids are now old enough to keep an eye on the younger ones and we can get out every once in a while. We still rarely go out, but the availability is there. Ha! That's fun that you got to meet Ron! I'm sure he appreciated your work!

Our three oldest girls are responsible enough to watch the little ones (except our youngest) and knowing my parents are right next door is a relief also. !BBH

You sure had a lot of fun at the convention, the dinner with your spouse and newborn must've been an enjoyable experience. The food in the photo looks filling and delicious. Thanks for sharing how lovely your evening was. My regards to you and your family.

I love french fries but my son gets the maximum share every time we buy some :)

Nice to know that it was a predictive convention.

I really like the title of your posts when you say Estamos Vivos (We are Alive). That is the first sentence I say every morning when I open my eyes when I wake up. Thank God I am alive.

I understand very well when you say the two of us almost alone, that used to happen to me too, sometimes I would go out with my beloved wife almost alone, haha, but now that my daughters are grown up, now we can go out alone.
