This is my observation and experience I am sharing today about the documentary that debuted this past Friday. I purchased a ticket to the first showing of the day. The theatre was not completely full but it was also not just a handful of patrons either. The portion that touched my heart the most was when she shares about how she misses her mother and she had to attend the funeral of President Carter on the anniversary date of her mother dying. What a faithful young woman First Lady Melania is that she came back to NY that day to light a candle in her mother's memory & say a prayer @ St. Patrick's Cathedral. That brought tears to my eyes. You know, I was not aware that the anniversary of her mothers dying was so close in days from my mother's anniversary of her dying but my mother died I believe a year or two before her mom. Death of a loved one is never easy even though people may try to comfort you with words letting you know the pain of death eases up as time goes on. No, I do not think so in my opinion because I still bake a recipe, see gifts my mother gave to me or even cards or notes of encouragement she gave to me and in those moments I wish I could just make a phone call to her to see how she is doing.
Even when I gift someone with a $2.00 bill it reminds me of her because she always would bless the children now and then with tucking a $2.00 bill in a card for them. So, the sharing of $2.00 bills is a small tradition that carries on with my mother starting that kindness within our family. Are parents perfect? Absolutely not but being a parent myself we do try to do the very best we can for our children.
I think I am done creating my Valentine's Day candy making. I made yesterday milk chocolate mixed with sweetened regular coconut, honey roasted almonds & dried strawberry pieces. I then finished up using my dark chocolate melting discs combined with salted peanuts. Do you think I should continue to keep baking or not. I do enjoy baking, I really do but I have to be in the creative mode in order for me to be creative in the kitchen, does that make sense to you.
The same with creating Lego & Lego type of flowers. I started a project yesterday of building a lavender flower and it was frustrating at times because when I would be placing the sections together another section would fall off. So you know what I did? I put down that project at the end of the day and said to myself tomorrow is a new day to finish working on it. I think I have to get out the heavy duty glue for projects & repairs and glue a few pieces together so it will stay this time. So far I put together a white lily, cherry blossom and working on the lavender.
All in all, the point of today's blog entry is to sing the praises of the documentary. It was done in good taste and lets the public see behind the scene the lead up days and all the preparation it takes to arrive at Inauguration Day of a President. Maybe because I am a woman I truly appreciate the story shared through the eyes of another woman, our Great & beloved First Lady. Stay until the very end of the documentary to read the accomplishments she has attained so far while being First Lady of the USA. Impeccable taste she has in clothing and an attention to details even when it comes to designing the very wardrobe for these events. I sure do wish our President would let his wife do the interior decorating/designing on projects in The White House. She has an attention to details and does not tend to over decorate a room but brings in the appearance of refined decorum if that makes sense. Uh oh, there I go thinking out loud again.
I am still perplexed as to why her office was torn down in the East Wing for remodel construction but the Faith Office located in the West Wing is still in place. Why don't they just dissolve that office since we see no great improvement in Christianity related things going on in our country to better it for Christians and just give that office space to the First Lady and her staff or better yet. If they don't want to dissolve that Faith Office, possibly get a true Jesus loving/follower of Jesus that walks in biblical ways in my opinion person as a director. Possibly a gentleman that truly walks with God. Is not having YouTube videos exposing grifter style ministry and is not afraid to speak biblical truth to the President of the USA pure biblical truth. Or if they want to still insist in keeping the current Director in that position, how about moving their office to a broom closet type of location somewhere else in the White House and giving the honor of a fine office location to the First Lady in which she then has access to her husband since she would be located in the West Wing. I sure am thinking out loud again aren't I.
