SCRAP'N GRANDMA18

Wow! What a day yesterday was!! Glued to the TV, I think I watched every Minute of the Inaugeration ceremonies and recorded most of them! I heard several people "in the crowd" say things like "you can't feel this energy through the TV"----well, YES you could--or at least I could! I cheered and applauded right along with everyone else. I was really jealous, I must admit, cold and all, of all the people who were right there! I finally called my little brother who has lived and worked in DC for many years (and lives only 8 blocks from the festivities) to say how I wish I could be there celebrating with them. They were indeed having an after party with quite a few friends and neighbors invited! They had made the (probably wise) choice not to actually attend, but to watch on TV where the view was better. J. said they had "tested the waters" the day before and from where they would have stood, the new president would have looked smaller than an ant! TV was a better choice! He did say that the Energy level in DC was nothing short of ELECTRICITY for the past week. No one in the world, it seems, was more ready for a change, than the people of DC!---EXCEPT---ALL of US!!!!!! President OBAMA--we Love You! and we know somehow you will do GREAT things!
