October 7

Today is warm, sticky, humid and cloudy. Not the prettiest for sure. I planned to attend church service at St. James Episcopal Church in Hyde Park, but the power went out and i just could not go with a wet head and I thought it was an 11am service, but nope, 10am..oops..will plan on next Sunday.

So I did my walk, but the humidity and rain from last night made the walk a challenge..splashing through mud puddles down the driveway.

So Barb, here is the daily bench photo..in the misty rain.

I spent part of the afternoon doing Docent duty in the FDR Museum. Lots of visitors and a number of young folk which was nice to see.

I decided to arrange photos sort of like the museun is arranged. Here are a few photos from the 1933 Inauguration section.

The Dutch Bible used in all 4 inaugurations.

The Fedora worn in all 4 campaigns

On the way to the Inauguration March 1933.

The last President to be sworn into office in March and thus the first to be sworn in in January as the 20th Amendment changed the date to January 20th. Hoover was completely Grim.
