  #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings 1. Hubby got started on his Medicare sign-ups. My drug plan research made his search easier. 2. I learned that there is a small speed square that will fit my hands and be handy for crafting. I love tools. 😊 3. I've been watching early voting statistics for our county. Today was the biggest turnout and about 40 percent of registered voters have voted.
