From Hate To Respect
I never thought I would see this day. But I am so glad I lived to see it.
I have watched every inguration since I was a kid. They are all special in thier own ways. You see a man (so far only men) full of hope and energy. Then four or eight years later, you see them being spit out by a mostly ungrateful country. And you can see the burden on their faces. I didn’t vote for George Bush, but I don’t think he is the village idiot and I think he did what he thought was best. It may not have been the best, but it is easy to look backward and be a Monday night quaterback . So we have spit George Bush out, and have a new one to feed on. I hope fate is kind to him.
Try to remember they are all our fellow Americans and human and fallible.
I wish my father had lived to see this.

thank you George Bush and I pray you find ease that the literal weight of the world is off your shoulders.

It was a great day!
As a foreigner it was pretty interesting to watch too. I’d never watched a US Presidential inauguration before. Well, other than clips on the news.
Seeing all those thousands of people gathered to watch a political event was quite special considering the shady light in which most people seem to view politicians. It’s good to see people involved.
I, like a lot of foreigners, was glad to see the end of the previous administration’s era and I’m pleased and hopeful about the new one.

Thanks so much for your kind words about my hat! Going home will surely make me feel better–I am really tired of avocados

Thanks so much for your compliments about my shawl-that-can’t-be-spelled
You need to try a little lace knitting, so I can return the favor!
