as we sat and drank coffee glued to the TV,
watching the Inauguration Ceremony of Barack Obama.
I love the pomp and circumstance and
all the details that make this event so special.
Didn't Michelle Obama make a statement for fashion?
So elegant, so classy.
"Let it be told to the future world ... that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive... that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet [it]."
"America. In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested, we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back, nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations. "
How come is it so easy for people to believe in someone they haven't met to make change in their lives, and yet they find it so hard to believe in themselves.
It's time that we start believing in our selves to make changes that will make a difference for the future generations and to be part of the process in helping one another.

On the lighter side,
while some of my friends are comforting themselves
with the warm sunny beaches in Hawaii,
others are enjoying the balmy warm 10 degrees in the valley,
yet, others of us have chosen to continue enjoying the winter air.
We took a quick trip up to the Caribou, to visit another Royal Couple.
We love to go and chill out in their beautiful lake front property,
winter and summer.
What a beautiful clear sunny day....until
Not only fog, but salt and sand and guess who keeps
spitting the sand back at us....
Not even the cleaners could keep up.
Those Trucks!!!!
summit and the sky opened clear and wide.
Can you see the most spectacular beach front property just on the other side?
I think you are getting the picture.
The beauty of winter up here is breathtaking.
A long driveway all cleared for us.
What in invitation.

that hosted us for three days.
Rod & Ursie.

and we all sit in their big cozy bed room looking out at the beautiful
scenery through their frosted paned windows.

You know how to give us the experience of the Caribou.
and we know, it's only 20 more minutes till we're Home Again.
It looks like you had a relaxing weekend, Marg. The scenery is so beautiful! Dairymary
