First in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen

Yesterday morning daughter #1 and I got up early and drove down to Lafayette Park in the city to attend our DAR commemoration of George Washington’s birthday and wreath laying. She was the host of the event so I tagged along despite it being 14 degrees outside! She did a masterful job as always and it was a lot of fun and the speaker from the Missouri Historical Society was good.

Connie & Katie dressed appropriately for the weather

The SAR provided the color guard. And there were two TV news stations there covering the event.

(Daughter #1 knows how to rouse the media!)

Then I went to the grocery store to stock up on bread and milk as we are expecting a foot of snow (?) later today. Woohoo!
