It is a day steeped in Honor and Tradition.

AMEN! I pray that we can all come together, One Nation Under GOD! I also hope that parents with younger children will teach them about how special this day will be in our history.
About my antiquing trip, we had fun! There are plenty of shops downtown where I live with "stuff", we mostly go out to have an outing. I have so much "stuff" now, but it is fun to bring home a little something. I was so surprised how everthing changed on the way there! I also do not know why I never went back sooner! The shop was a true antique paradise though, I wish it had stayed the same, but I guess like people, over time everything changes in one way or another!
Wishing you a wonderful day! ♥

Well said! Well said! A very special day indeed! Thank you for a great post.
Very eloquently said my dear!....thank you for posting that! Janet :)
Amen to that - nice post!!
Hi Connie,
A really nice post. Is will be, indeed, a very special inauguration day for so many people.
Our fears of being foolish for planning our trip on this inauguration weekend were all for naught. To our surprise, we sailed through DC yesterday. Traffic was very light. Perhaps the throngs aren't arriving until Monday?
We are here in our cozy Best Western room in Savannah watching football for the night after driving through torrential downpours all day long.
We expect to be at our destination in Indian Harbour Beach tomorrow afternoon. Looking for some sunshine!!
Take care and keep in touch.
