Michelle Obama in Sioux City, IA

Monday, Oct. 29, we had the opportunity to go to Sioux City to see Michelle Obama.  A Democrat friend here called and persuaded us to join her.  While standing in line, this reporter from FOX Network was interviewing people and since Cheryl, my friend, was wearing this spectacular T-shirt, I alerted the reporter and she definitely wanted to interview Cheryl and get a good look at her T-shirt.  As an aside I have known Cheryl for a long time because we used to swim together.  We also connected at an outdoor conference a few years ago.  It was fun to reconnect and to be able to share our similar political views.  It is not the ordinary to find people in this part of the country who share similar views.  She expresses her views quite well and they did have a spot for her on the broadcast.  Here is the link.

This T-shirt has special meaning to our family too.  It is a play on "Rosie the Riveter," and my Aunt Rosemary, who is 97 and still living, was a "Rosie the Riveter."  They were very strong women so this symbolizes that Michelle Obama is a strong women, and I believe she is.  I greatly admire her and her husband.

Waiting for her to arrive.

She gave an excellent talk and, as usual, was her amazing self.
