some men still wear hats.. I like them (esp our POTUS in his cowbow hat). I am sure there are some warm felt type cowbow hats.
As usual I appreciate all your great work Eleanor.

If you have not made my toaster yet I like the first photo from post#69 on my toaster (A red toaster with with green slots would be perfect)
This is true. Hope you will stop by the Dose more often. It is amazing the number of drop-ins we have from years gone by. You never know who you will bump into on the Dose.
Will do Kas and thanks for posting the White House photos they were not up when I posted the thread.
Yeah they are always posted later on the White House site and I was afraid they would disappear later today from the site
Thanks
That is sweet of you.
“Except ye become as a little child, ye shall not enter therein.”
I had hoped to do the Rapture thing instead, but you can’t always get what you want. Still, there are lots of things that can carry me away before I become too dysfunctional. Or I can bumble along at this level for years before it worsens another big step.
These pictures, and especially the top one in your post Kaslin, make me sentimental and think I will miss George and Laura after next year. They have both aged, and we with them of course. He is a man of conviction, even though I haven’t agreed with him line for line, and I thank God for his leadership rather than the alternative.
Thank you, Eleanor.
I pray a treatment is discovered soon to forestall this.
