Thursday, December 20, 2012 at 7:09AM Truly Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-mazing.
Wonderful Gospel Music welcomed all into the White House. A Marvelous Military Ensemble drew us upstairs. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. Decorations, dazzling. All were free to wander the public rooms on first and second floors. WOW! How incredibly lucky were we? VERY, VERY, VERY MUCH SO.
