How about that....Grandma with "Mr. President" now kids I can hear you groaning! The story is this...... he wanted the "Queen of everything" to be in his cabinet actually he wanted me to be Secretary of State but I told him I had to much to do with my church callings so I told him to give it to Hillary she needed the job....not buying my story?....Well actually it is Inauguration time and I just wanted to say to you my family that maybe you didn't vote for him but he is our President of the greatest country in the world....I hope you always remember how blessed you are to live in this country and have the freedom you have....you had Grandparents that didn't have that freedom and gave up all they had to come to America so that they could be a mormon. As a family let us pray for him and our country that he will be able to make it better.....I am in awe at all the things that are happening with this inauguration and know that living the gospel will make our lives good no matter what happens in the world around us....life may not always be fair but it is GOOD! We love you all....be happy, be good, be faithful...love one another!
