I love it when My New President sends me e mail

My new president (ok, our new president – I suppose I have to share him) has been sending me e mails for a few months now. Sure, they're probably not collector's items that I can sell on ebay, but I still save them. I love it how we're on a first-name basis.


I didn't get one from him yesterday, though. He was kind of busy. Geez oh man, talk about a full day.

I got up extra early to feed and spend time outside with the boys, knowing I wouldn't be able to drag myself away from the tv later. Was it just me or did you think the day dawned a little brighter, too?




I've never been more grateful to be a telecommuter. I was glued to the coverage all day and night, and fell asleep to Larry King interviewing Tim Gunn (and no, I didn't have nightmares).



When I'm old and senile and sitting in my rocking chair with a lap robe and laptop, I'll be able to look back on this post and remember where I was and what I was doing on January 20, 2009. And I'll click on that folder named "emails from Barack" and be able to re-live the years when he led my country out of a great big mess.

    I feel for the guy...it's a pretty big mess.

    BTW, LOVE the shot of the mountains. That's stunning!

    Gee how come I don't get emails? Maybe because you're hogging Barack all to yourself lol? That's a good idea though to save them so you can look back on them. I've slept through all the news coverage, is that bad? By the time you're "old and senile" maybe rocking chairs will be heated and wired for wireless. Just a thought...

    Those photos are stunning. I came across some properties for sale not too far from you (best I can tell) just by chance this weekend and my husband and I were drooling over the landscapes.

    Beautiful photos. I'm glad you're enjoying your e-mails. I think yesterday was a wonderful day for the country. I also think the country and the world breathed a collective sigh of relief.

    Even with the heavy fog hanging overhead, yesterday seemed brighter! I hope the energy rises and everyone remembers Baracks plea for ALL to help as he cannot do it alone.
    I am excited for the future again, even though there are massive hurdles to conquer!
    Yes~We Can!

    He seems like a good bloke and all, but I don't understand why we here in Aus are hearing so much about Barack. We got a new Prime Minister not that long ago and no doubt people in other countries didn't hear a whiff of that?

    (Not bagging out Barack here...don't boycot me! Just the media!)

    Isn't it wonderful? What a relief to feel like the country has been taken back from the evil ones. Gorgeous photos! I think the day did dawn a bit brighter.

    I appreciate your nuttiness over the president and your love of photography; so I'm passing on this site that has a cool pan shot of the inauguration. You can zoom in and pan around. Kind of interesting.
