Here is one my favorite of the Obamaicons I have made. Thanks to my sister Meg, who worked very hard to help get our new president elected, for turning me on to this fun website! Check it out if you have some time… Though it took me awhile to warm up to Barack Obama (as […]
Before I sign off for this evening, I want to call to mind all those who died and all those who lost loved ones, six years ago today on September 11, 2001. I watched Oprah’s moving tribute episode this morning, on which she had some of the children of the people who perished in either […]
