I want to go back to DC!!

Me too! I would love to be able to go the end of March for the Cherry Blossom Festival. As I recall, it is about the prettiest time of year to visit DC.

I remember these beautiful cherry trees from when my dad was stationed at the Pentagon. They were young then, so was I. LOL.

"Try to bring God’s love and kindness
Into someone’s life today;
Even just the gift of caring
Will the Savior’s love display.
~ Hess ~


Good morning, Mayor. Thank you for the words of Wisdom!

Hope you are having a great week.
Happy Cuddle Day!

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.

Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow.


— A. E. Housman

Oh, that is a beautiful poem......made me a bit sad though. I really do want to see the cherry blossoms again someday. Have you been to DC when the trees are in bloom?

Thank you for your contributions to Amy’s Place. I always enjoy them, even if I don’t say so at the time. :-)

Good morning, FRiend!

That is a beautiful poem by Shelley.
Thank you for sharing it with us.

WOW ..... The graphic that you chose is awesome.

Have a Marvelous Monday.
Happy Cuddle Day!"

Thank you. I've been to Washington many times, but oddly enough never during cherry blossom-time, otherwise known as the tax season.

That is a lovely picture, Lori.

Reliving our trip made me want to see DC again. I don’t think Jim will be interested in another Inaugural Ball but maybe we can convince him to have a “Crying-in-Our-Beer” party next January. : ^ )

As Marissa looked at all of the pictures, she asked if we could go again. Even she enjoyed the memories.

“Crying-in-Our-Beer” party

Sounds good to me. I am just so depressed over this entire up-coming election. Jim's candidate was my candidate and, sadly, he didn't survive the nomination process. No matter who wins at this point, I see nothing to celebrate. :-(

I think we are going to have a President Obama.

I wonder if Huckabee would come play at a “Crying” party?
; ^ )

If we can’t have a January party, maybe we can have a March or April party. Do you think they would frown on Marissa missing school for a week? I wouldn’t be able to go without her. LOL

Well, it's worth a try. He might have some time on his hands since he won't be moving into the Oval Office. LOL ;-)

Hi, Amy and All FRiends! I've been Enjoying Everyone's Neat Graphics and Poetry, and am about to Follow your Link in Post #560, Amy. It's a Beautiful Day Here where I Live, and the Birds of Spring are just Everywhere; Several are Searching in the Carport for Places to Build Nests. There are 7 or 8 Ducks Swimming in the King's Pond, and Squirrels are Busily at Play. Just a Lovely and Appreciated Day!

Hugs to All!

Ahhh ... that is such a sweet picture, Kitty Mittens.

Spring is very near here. The little finches are building nests on the patio and are busy reinforcing the ones I didn’t remove last year.

The daffodils look like they should be blooming in another week or 10 days.

Better not. I'd have to have a private crying-in-my-beer party.

Marissa loves to travel. : ^ )

Guess that I started her young. She is already asking where we are going for Easter Vacation.

If we make it to DC next year, Marissa will be there.
