Such good news about your Dad, snugs!! That's such a relief .. one less worry. I pray all goes well with the next procedure. You two have been through so much this New Year already. God bless you both with continued strength and endurance.
I'm assuming that, while Alito and family were at the White House watching the vote (and all the ugly spew from the DimDumbs), they probably had a little meal, and when victory was won, immediately they were whisked off in a lovely limousine to the Supreme Court. There, Chief Justice Roberts administered the official oath... that's why he was able to be in robes at the SOTU last night.
I think about how very kind of our President and how emblematic of his humanity that he extended that courtesy of sweating it out with them. I'm not sure I heard of that happening with Justice Roberts, but that's like being in a foxhole together .. I think they'll always have a special bond. We can only imagine how hard it was for Mr. + Mrs. Alito to sit there, with the President, and have to listen to all that garbage the DimRats had to voice .. just to be more vicious on the last day and hours to hurt Alito and Bush.
Can you imagine how horrible it would've been if the votes weren't there, and there they are at the WH with the President.
Today, it was just a ceremonial re-swearing, and I'm SO glad they allowed the public to see the fruits of victory play out, in front of a crowd of happy and supportive people.
After all the Alitos have been through ... and just imagine how difficult these months have been for their teenaged children......kids can be cruel, this family deserved every moment of this celebration today and to be treated royally, applauded and lauded for their great dignity and class in the hellish battle they endured. God bless them. Our president is so special, and God is so good.
Thanks Star I will be relieved when Wednesday is over
Thanks!! You're right.
lol I thought so! haha
lol thanks snugs!
Thanks for posting the link. The letter brought tears into my eyes.
Thanks for the link, I watched all the videos
When you get to see them that close up, you can see his soul...........and his soul belongs to Jesus. It shows.
(I do admit to liking the rest of his face though, too....... :)
For some reason I don't notice people's shoes............and I hope they don't notice mine either. :)
ohio, I agree with you about the eyes, his soul shines through them.
They are very feminine and make the trousers that she so often wears feminine and suitable wear for the formal events that she wears them to.
Shoes or high heeled fashioned boots can make or break an outfit IMHO.
I love her shoes Ohio! They're my favorite out of all of her shoes she wears lol
I've always been *jealous* of women who can wear high heels. I can't and I think they are very attractive.
It really does. I notice that all the time..........and that's why I really like photos that show the inner character and spiritual strength that shines in his eyes.
I used to wear them all the time, but I'm not fond of pain, so I gave them up.
(btw, if I had Laura's legs, I might consider dealing with the pain. :)
aww yeah...I'm not much for wearing heels...but I do wear them anyway lol Yep...she has pretty legs...my legs are way too skinny...ick lol
Have you ever seen him so ebullient and expansive?? He was unbelievable ... what did you both think? Hope you're watching so you can see his joyful and hyper-animated moments.
(I'm working on a rowing machine regularly now, and that really builds your calf muscles. Biking is even worse).
I think it's basically unfair that someone who's 59 years old should have legs as nice as Laura's. :)
