Which to choose -

Hopefully a "New Beginning" for this country!

Barack & Michele Obama

***************

``Our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions — that time has surely passed,'' Obama said. ``Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.''
Obama spoke of a ``new era of responsibility'' and of ``our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age.''
``At these moments,'' he told the nation, ``America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.''
He spoke of himself as ``a man whose father less than 60 years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant'' yet one who now could take its most sacred oath.

Ladies and Gentlemen; our new President -

Barack Obama with his first lady and family beside him

now begins to take on the task of trying to get

America back the way she used to be ...

Good Luck & God Bless You, Mr. President.

On this special day in the history of the United States - Senator Ted Kennedy had a seizure during the innagural luncheon with President and The First Lady. I pray for his speedy recovery and that he will soon be well.
Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., ``It took a lot out of him. Seizures are exhausting.'' Even so, Dodd quoted Kennedy as saying, ``I'll be OK, I'll see you later'' as he was put into the ambulance. ``The good news is he's gonna be fine,'' Dodd added.

T0day exactly 48 years ago, John F. Kennedy was sworn in as President on January 20, 1961... May he rest in peace.

President Obama and the First Lady walks along the parade route to the White House greeting the people who braved the cold weather to be there and get a glimpse of this day of history.

Today here in North Carolina after threats of snow all night, we woke up to a little over an inch. Enough to close the schools leaving my granddaughter here today to be entertained.

We pulled out a few magazines and cutter and glue and along with toothpicks and our imaginations we made paper beads. She was so into this project we made about 20 of these little items and of course I am in anticipation of watching the swearing in of Obama, I left her there to make her own. Really she did good and took everything home with her to make more. Shamefully I didn't get a picture today but I will make one of her finished project; a necklace for her mom. Be watching for them!
