Going throw some papers today I came across the Time magazine with President Obama on the cover after he won the election in 2008. I am saving it for my grandchildren. Sad now because I come back to the reality of 2 Scoops draft dodging Shitler.

for the day after the election in 2008. Have to admit that I teared up. Tucked the paper back into my desk for posterity. <3

My husband put it on a shelf a few years ago.

I hope I live long enough to see those days again.
