A Look at Presidential Inaugurations Past and Present

The above video is of the new President of the United States being sworn into office and his inaugural address. I am proud to be an American on this day. We, as a nation, have shown that we are ready for change and aren't afraid to do it. Many Americans praise the election of a black man to our highest office. He isn't totally black nor is he totally white but rather he is a blend of both. To get a more historical look at inaugurations you may go to this page and see a video of the history of Presidential inaugurations and a few other videos of several other Presidents' inaugurations.

Entry for February 20, 2008

Hey, I thought I'd show you a completed project. This scarf was sitting in a box for ohh, about 4 years maybe. I put the fringe on it and wove in the lose ends. I still had some yarn left but not quite enough for a hat. So, I went thumbing through my patterns and surfing the web and I came up with this headband. The flower on it I kind of modified from another flower pattern I saw. I'm going to give it a gentle wash and then tuck it away for a present. Maybe for granddaughter for Christmas next year. Hope you like it!
I finished my blue and white round ripple afghan! Yippee! I'll try to make the time tomorrow to take a picture and put it in my blog.
There is a rumor going around that Barrack Obama refused to place his hand over his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance. This is not true. I saw a video where he was questioned about this and he said that it was during the "Star Spangled Banner" that he did not put his hand over his heart. The video is here for those of you who are interested. Nope, I'm not a Democrat and at this point in time he is not my choice for President. I just think that fiction needs to be identified as such.
