January 20, 2009
A new president, a good inauguration and a great speech. Good luck President Obama.
Believe it or not, we had snow today. Not a bad day for it, as we had no plans except the inauguration and stay at home and work in the office....Jackson is snowboarding at Wintergreen for a few days.
Pop didn't have a good day; we stayed with him for an hour and a half at lunch, and about the same for dinner. He's had a lot of aches and pains, and some recurrent symptoms from his bladder cancer. He wants to get out of rehab but it might be a while until he gets well enough to go home; we're all pulling for him to do so ASAP.
OK, now for snow videos; forgive our enthusiasm; the weather service said we've had 2 inches; and that is 2 inches more than we've had here in the 6 years (hard to believe it has been that long isn't it?) that we've lived here.
Here's a shot from the front yard

And one from the back yard

And another from the front

After we left the rehab center we went to the Wal-Mart (of course, can't go home without a WallyWorld visit); pulled in front of Belk's and took this shot; at 7:00PM there was still a lot of snow coming down

Beautiful day, love the different weather; it's a new day in America
