Color and Inaugural Fashions
Did you notice the colors our presidential families wore to the inauguration? Among a sea of black wool coats, both men and women accessorized in bright, vivid colors. And the most popular?

An Author in the White House
I watched the inauguration yesterday with my teenaged (!) son who was home sick. He delighted in pointing out all the places he visited on his leadership trip to Washington D.C. this fall, and he was visibly excited about watching the swearing-in ceremony.
