A beautiful, cold, sunny January winter day. We got up to 13 this morning at 4:30, and it is now 3:57 p.m. and it is 22 degrees. We are in a deep freeze period. This will last most of the week with it being 9 degrees Wednesday morning. In one word, Burr!
At 12:01 p.m., Eastern time, our 47th President was sworn in. President Trump took the oath with his family standing right by him. Vice President Vance and his family were there, he taking the oath prior to President Trump. I believe it is going to be an interesting and active four years with those two in office.
Also in attendance was Past President Obama, Past president and Mrs. Bush, Past President and Mrs. Clinton, and of course now Past President and Dr. Jill Biden. I believe his was a hard ceremony for the past Presidents as President Trump hit on some sore spots in his speech. He also told what he was going to do today, and in the future. He said that God saved him from being killed so he can accomplish all. I do believe God put him there and maybe do accomplish all he intends to accomplish. I have a feeling there will be a lot of toes stepped on, feelings hurt and a bit of fighting before to long. I hope you all got to listen to his speech and watch the audience. Billy Graham Jr. gave a great prayer as did a priest. Both very meaningful, sincere, and good.
The weekend was quiet and productive. Kleenex made more money off of me, as did Coricidin but after a set back on Sunday, I am feeling much better today. Friday after Dottie git out of the Doctor’s office, we went and had lunch, then off to see Tammy and Jerry’s new home. It is large, pretty, interesting and fun. The dogs will get an acre fenced in to run, play, just enjoy, The other acre holds the swimming pool, shed, patio and grass area. That will be kept pretty, neat, and for the humans to enjoy. No dogs allowed in that area. The house itself has three bedrooms, an office, large kitchen, living room and dining room all in one. It has a fire place so will be nice and cozy. There is a large back porch/ patio and a lovely front porch with two rocking chairs that the previous owners left. There is a two car garage plus a side garage door for putting a boat in that end. All very nice and usable. I hope the dogs enjoy it when they get to move in. They are redoing the hardwood floors prior to moving in. This part of the country you will find hardwood floors most everywhere.
Saturday we cleaned out the freezer and fridge. then went to the grocery store. It was raining, and or misting the whole day. The store was a two hour trip as the shelves were missing so much, lot of things we wanted. One gentleman said that people were stocking up since bad weather was forecast. That is crazy! Skinny Girl pop corn must be everyone steady diet. There was none. Lots of things, sausage links, sausage in general, canned spinach, green onions, every department was out of most everything. We did get filters for the furnace, and things like that. What an experience.
We got home, put groceries away, changed into warm p.j.’s and watched TV while eating chicken and dumplings that Malinda brought over Friday evening. She is a very good cook. Yesterday we watched church on line, then did the laundry and watched TV. A quirt day.
Today, I watched the Presidential thing, took Bill,(next door), to pick up his car, and that is about it, so far. Now it is time to think about starting dinner. Nothing exciting, just 15 bean soup that I pulled out of the freezer. It just needs to heat up. It will be served with cornbread.
Wah’s Household Hints: “Keys: Slip an elastic hat cord through the hole in the key. Then push the metal tips of the cord through the lining near the top of your hand bag. Then you can unlock the door without detaching the key from your purse.
Have a great rest of your Monday. Make it a productive, warm, energetic, cheerful and fun day.
