A nice evening ..... and a new President .....

Was a cold but sunny day here in our part of Kansas today. I didn't do much - stayed indoors and cooked, which I love doing. :) I made a noodle casserole for lunch: egg noodles, green peppers, onions, green olives, garlic and canned salmon ..... with sour cream. Yum! And, for supper, I fixed stuffed green peppers - just made two, one for each of us. Two giant green peppers stuffed with a mixture of rice, "deer"burger, onions, garlic, and salsa - with cheese melted on the tops. Also "yum!" :)

My husband, John, and I ate supper in front of the wood fire and watched a couple of news shows. It was cozy and warm. The food and fire, not the news.

We have a new President but I am not happy with his abortion legislation - he didn't wait long to start on it. I am also a little peeved about appointing a guy to be in charge of the country's finances who "got away" with not paying some of his taxes! Maybe WE should try that this time ........What I can celebrate, so far, about our new President is that this country FINALLY broke through the color block and voted in a man who is African American; well, half anyway. That was truly something to celebrate. Historical for sure. However, some of his policies sadden me - and others just plain make me frightened for my country. But I will be praying for him AND for the country.

Just the beginning .....

I'd like to say that I'm a novice at this, but am giving it a try! I just tried posting something, but I guess I didn't do something right; so am giving it another try. :) Hopefully, this one will be the "right" one and will get me started.

I hope to come up with some interesting things to say on my blog. I have enjoyed reading other blogs and the varied topics they have - some I agree with, some not. However, the "beauty of a blog", for me, is that I CAN read all sorts of things, and see other points of view, whether I agree or not. All I ask, here, is that any responses are kept decent, without vulgarity. Thanks. I believe we can speak our piece without falling into the gutter verbally. The English language is so full of beautiful words: verbs, adjectives, adverbs, etc., ..... we have SUCH a choice! Let's try to use them.
