Yes We Did

And a very proud time it was. I really had not given a whole lot of thought to the historical event that yesterday's inauguration was until I witnessed it on TV. President (oh how good that sounds!) Obama in my opinion was the person that gave us hope, the person for the job. Of course I know that he is black but I just didn't really think in those terms until I watched what it meant to other black folks and it hit me like a ton of bricks! Absolutely incredible all the way around! My friend Mary and I watched the inauguration together and both of us shed a tear here and there.

Watching history unfoldThey are a great pair. She will certainly be a strong and level headed first lady.These were the best words ever....President Barack Obama
Our new leaders
And the old boarding their helicopterBoth Mary and I did a heartfelt goodbye wave as they flew away...the sighs of relief were certainly audible!
I am not sure how I caught this but it is pretty cool don't ya think Mary?I think I snapped the two pictures one right after the other and one transposed itself on the other making a nice snapshot of the new watching the old fly away!!!!

While in the StP area I had my quarterly oncology appointment. All of my blood work was good, had a nice chat with the doc and on my way I went...see you again in four months!

And there was time spent with Julia and her dad. Kel was in Orlando for work so it was the three of us. Julia has changed a ton in just a few weeks. She is babbling and laughing almost constantly. She makes the strangest noise deep in her throat...I swear she will be talking in no time flat!


She now enjoys being on her feet although she needs help and this is one of her favorite places to be
