A Most Pleasant Morning

We watched the peaceful transfer of power on TV this morning.  And a pleasant morning it was especially in light of the non peaceful transfer of power in Africa.  No politics in the blog today but a fashion critique - not exactly my strength but I have an opinion. 

Out going and incoming ladies both sported messy buns.  Great for a trip to Walmart but they were attending a formal event.  Perhaps they went to the same salon like the bridesmaids before a wedding.  SOMEONE should have told those two to head off to shop instead of going to the inauguration.

Saw a lot of winter white.  That looked very nice.  Exactly the type of thing that winter white can be worn to and not look silly.

I noticed several important women who dressed down - still elegant - but not wanting to be the center of attention:  Mrs. Pence, Laura Bush, Mrs. Paul Ryan.  I thought that was classy.

I feel like singing

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
I will sew, I will sew, I will sew.

About 12 inches of snow as the base
Negative 22 temperature
Fire is blazing in the wood stove
No jobs to get up and go to
Happily at my sewing machine,
making a wedding quilt...

Life is good.
