A few thoughts on the Inauguration

Hey, everybody! Luke's descriptions and photos from Inauguration Day were great! Thank you so much, Luke. How long were you able to be at the Civic Center? I loved the kid writing on paper. Reminded me of you three boys' grade-school handwriting. That was probably HIS mom who was doing the weeping.

You bet I did cry a few times during the viewing of the whole event on a large screen at Daddio's preaching conference at Canon Beach in a room full of supporters. I was overcome a few times. How about you all? Did you have a tear or two?

I watched the rest of the day off and on on my computer. We did not have tv's in our retreat center rooms or even in a common room. Just that one big one for use for about two hours during the actual ceremony.

Dad and I had a glorious time walking along the beach several times a day--sometimes at night. The stars were outstanding! We think that would be a fabulous place for a Stewart get-together, or just individually whenever you each could join us there. Love, Mom/Gret/MaMa
