Breakfast with the President



As the holidays came to a close and the New Year approached, my daughter and I shared about upcoming January events we were looking forward to with anticipation.  We spoke of President Trump's big win which we believe will place better laws into effect in our country after he's inaugurated.  That's when my daughter mentioned she and her husband might be going to one of the inaugural balls.  A couple they hang around with invited them to a formal watch party to celebrate his swearing into office.  They would attend this inaugural ball, and participate with the elites, but from afar!

"You know what this means," she said.  We will have to make an investment into formal wear.  "I haven't worn heels in a while!"

We spoke about the details and I began to feel excited for her.  Actually, I felt envious.  I would love to go to something like that with a date and get all dressed up fancy.  We talked about the nice formal wear available at thrift stores to save money.  As it turned out, her husband was scheduled to work and they had to decline.  I, however, couldn't stop thinking about how much fun that would be to attend!  

Yesterday, my friend invited me to a watch party in Sedona at the American Legion Hall and I had a great time!  We had breakfast with all the patriots there and we clapped and hollered loud as we watched our president commit to make America great again.  We followed the events on a big screen with a loud speaker as he stood before the nation and took the oath.


I cannot capture in words the merriment in the room.  Being a holiday, Amy didn't have to work so she joined us, too.  I reconnected with an old friend at my table.  We took a class together in town and caught up on each other's life.  I also enjoyed meeting  people like me filled with hope for a better tomorrow.  




I pray Psalm 47 over this driven man, now our 47th president.  

Applause, everyone. Bravo, bravissimo!
    Shout God-songs at the top of your lungs!
God Most High is stunning,
    astride land and ocean.
He crushes hostile people,
    puts nations at our feet.
He set us at the head of the line,
    prize-winning Trump, his favorite.
Loud cheers as God climbs the mountain,
    a ram’s horn blast at the summit.
Sing songs to God, sing out!
    Sing to our King, sing praise!
He’s Lord over earth,
    so sing your best songs to God.
God is Lord of godless nations—
    sovereign, he’s King of the mountain.
Princes from all over are gathered,
    people of Abraham’s God.
The powers of earth are God’s—
    he soars over all.


I took a long nap when I got home.  I hoped to stay up late into the night to watch the festivities in the ballroom, eager to see Melania's gown and watch her dance with my president.  However, it was very cold here last night and so windy!  I think the wind blew out the Wi-Fi Signal because I could not connect after 7:00 p.m.  I was disappointed.

Cheers to a new term for our president!

  1. What a super fun idea ... joy shared with like-minded friends! I may be a wee bit envious, lol. Happy for you, dear friend.

    1. No doubt in my mind that you would have loved this event!

  2. Oh that would have been so fun to go to the ball. I'm so happy Donald Trump won. And I don't care if some people from a certain community call me a "sellout". My absolute favorite was seeing the Mississippi Valley University Marching Band. They did so well with the limited space they had. The Lord made it possible for them to come to DC. Our God is amazing!

    1. Your words exactly! The "feel" at the breakfast watching it with 150 patriots is just what you expressed. It's like liberty and sanity and common sense made an appearance.

  3. All glory be to God for protecting Pres. Trump & putting him back in the White House. 🙏. That's great you had fun with fellow patriots and I love your prayer for him. How fitting of Psalm 47 for his current term.

    My husband and I watched it too.. What! Breakfast needed to be prepped? 😱😬 But I couldn't skip prepping nor watching the oath taking. So I hurried making something easy and savory as we watched the inauguration from my cell phone. 2 birds @ one shot! 🤣

    God bless & protect our hardworking President who had already done so many things and it's only his second day!!! 🙏 Take care and stay strong in the Lord's mighty power... Love and prayers as always.

    1. So whereas I celebrated with that loud bunch, you enjoyed an "intimate" watch party with your bestie! You probably heard better. Yes, Praise God for saving his life and I continue to pray Zechariah 2:5 daily, praying God's firewall around him.

  4. Yes, we definitely need to pray a hedge around this man, his family and those in office too. May he find favor even with those against him.
    Sorry your daughter had to miss the ball but I'm glad she could be with you and it sounds like you had a great time at the hall.

Spring is Here

  Tomorrow is the first day of spring!  Our mornings still are chilly, but then the powerful Arizona sun arises to warm our March days.  I'm considering an herb garden this year.  Fresh herbs are wonderful for cooking. I joined my Tucson family for spring break last week.  Our days filled up fast with fun activities--cooking and baking together, movies, board games, church, pizza.  Should I mention laundry and dishes? The family discovered a new breakfast spot called The Bisbee Breakfast Club.  The pancakes were my favorite and the portions were huge.  We had leftovers for breakfast the next day.  I like the décor.  The kiddos modeled in front of the colorful mural wall behind our table. Amy turns eleven this week, but we celebrated early with pizza, cake, ice cream and lots of presents. We were able to take a road trip to New Mexico to visit family.  I felt refreshed to be with our cousins and reminisce about growing up in Chicag...

What Did You Do Last Week?

  I'm not a federal government employee so I did not receive an email from DOGE with instructions to list five bullet points of what I did last week.  Perhaps Elon Musk or President Trump could care less, but I'm complying.  I'm a middle child and like to follow the rules.  After all, Mr. God has blessed me with good health and ambition, so why not thank Him for each day I can wake up and carry out the responsibilities my simple life requires? Here are my five: 1.  I have three large fenced pens behind my house filled with old straw-like over grown weeds and it's hard to walk back there.  I raked two of the three pens and bagged 12 large garbage bags of weeds.  I'm skittish of burning them; I dislike fire chores.  The bags are heavy!  It looks neater and flatter.  I'm ready for the spring rains to come.  Then I will have nasty fresh green weeds to pull.  We need rain badly, nonetheless. 2.  I hosted an intimate dinner part...

Because He Lives, I Can Move

I’m currently in one of those places where you lay out all the options and then you make the best decision. It seems, however, like none of the choices are fair or attractive. I know God will help me in my situation because I desire His guidance. I’m clinging to His Word which promises that ALL things work together for good for those that love God and are called according to His purpose, Romans 8:28. I heard a great teaching this week about seeking God’s will and all the freedom that surrender brings. We can know that God is bringing about a victory if we trust Him with each and every decision. The speaker illustrated his point with a famous painting. The painting depicts a look of despair on the chess player’s face. He’s playing Satan and his soul is at stake. It looks like Satan is winning. Checkmate! When Paul Morphy saw this painting back in the 1800’s, he set up a chess board and aligned the pieces to reflect the painting. Being a world champion, he studied the board. His conclusi...
