I’ve got to get this in before you all go to bed. I just now finished watching the concert at the Lincoln Memorial from beginning to end. Alway late as usual, but WHAT A FANTASTIC EVENT THAT WAS!!!! My patriotic heart was stirred so many times and tears flowed. It felt like America again. I believe our President loved it too. Wasn’t it the greatest thing that he came out to shake hands and speak to the entertainers when possible. That had to be a lifetime memory for those musicians. Now I have to go back on this tread and pick up all of your comments on it. Ya’ll sleep well, I’m going to be up awhile.

You can go to cspan.org and I believe there is a link to the entire event at the Lincoln Memorial - which includes the entire concert.

I just finished watching the whole Lincoln Memorial Concert. What a great program! Didn’t you feel like it’s America again. My heart swelled with pride and yeah, I cried a lot. Fantastic evening. Now I have to go back and read all your comments on the program. Ya’ll sleep well now, ya hear?

[weston]

Yes I felt the same way. It’s morning in America again! Night.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

LOL - that was so cute!

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Thank you so much for that first hand report! Glad you got to experience all that today.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

OH - so good to see Paula and Juanita enjoying themselves at the inauguration! Can you imagine what it would have been like if her heinous had won????????? HURL!

[WVNan]

Welcome home Mama_Bear!

Hi there!

Glad you have joined the thread.

Yes, watched the entire event at the Lincoln Memorial and loved every second of it!

Loved it when President Trump came out and shook the hands of the performers. He is such a class act.

I am here a little bit longer too. See you around.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Yes, tears flowed - especially during Lee Greenwood’s song and then during the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

And no sicko protestors were anywhere to be found - it was just thrilling.

10 hours to go!

Thank you for the Ping, Dear Dolly!

(((((Hugs!)))))

My understanding is the letter is left in/on the desk for the incoming President to find after the Inauguration.

Someone reported here earlier that Obama left the office late (for him) tonight, so maybe he was pinning a letter?

[DollyCali]

Thanks for report.. lucky you being able to take all that in!

Guessing you don’t live too far away

[WVNan]

Gee Dolly, I wish I had kept all my pics in one album. At the time I didn’t know how and the ones I tried to keep got lost in space somewhere. I have some in my picture files. I’m glad you have the one of me with the afghan that Maggie had her hubby crochet for me before she passed. He said she inspected it every night and if she found a mistake she made him take it out and redo it. He argued that nobody would notice and she replied, “I did, and it’s for Nan. It has to be perfect.” I miss her so much still after all this time.

9 hours to go!

[DollyCali]

actually my pix are all over the place. Some on a server I can’t access. I have about 9 external hard drives full of pix. i use them with my iMac 27 - which has been fallow for several years (long story). I have many of them from the gals luncheons we used to have with the Ohio and WV gals.

“9 hours to go!”

yes, isn’t it exciting? Wonder if DJT is able to sleep tonight.

I think when he stood in front of the Lincoln statue after the concert another stance of OH MY THIS IS BIG(not the statue - but enormous scenario). With his drive and personality since the election is has been work, planning, decisions.

Possibly not much time for pause or reflection. I had a sense of just that watching his demure in that awesome monument. He is now entering a very small and exclusive fraternity.

Lincoln made a difference. He plans to do the same

God richly bless and protect and guide him in doing so
