Remembering JFK

50 years ago today I was 8 years old.  

As I walked home from school I learned that the President had been shot. 

We all crowded around the television that day and evening, stunned. 

After that, the world did not feel as safe.

The last thing President Kennedy did in the Oval Office before heading to Dallas 

was to respond to Gov. Phil Hoff's request for drought assistance for Vermont.

Veterans Day 2013

"President Obama said in his Veterans Day proclamation that the country's obligations to those who have served "endure long after the battle ends." He said their courage, self-sacrifice and devotion represent the American character at its best and he encouraged everyone to honor every service member who has ever worn the country's uniforms."

Ceilings of the Boston Public Library

The mosaics that comprise the huge ceiling in the inner foyer honour many Bostonians 

such as Franklin, Hawthorne and Longfellow.

This is the ceiling I want in my living room!
