Day 20 – The Trees of Mystery Fork

Oh, sorry, were you expecting a spoon? Well, today you get a fork.

But hey, it’s the best fork. It’s from The Trees of Mystery in California. This fork absolutely has the potential to make America great again.

I know, I know. You say you didn’t want a fork; you wanted a spoon. Get used to disappointment. If it makes you feel any better, this used to be part of a set: a fork AND a spoon. I don’t know what happened to the spoon. Maybe the Russians took it? Maybe ask the GOP if they used it to dismantle the ACA? Sad.

I dunno. I’ll get back to posting spoons tomorrow when I’m done protesting.

Day 19 – The 2009 Obama Inauguration Spoon

This is President Barack Obama’s last day in the White House. He and First Lady Michelle Obama have led by example, with grace, humility, patience, and understanding.

So here’s the obvious choice for today’s post: The 2009 Obama Inauguration spoon. Made by the Watson Company (and really, what souvenir spoon isn’t made by them these days?), this silver plated spoon was produced for the 56th Presidential Inauguration ceremonies, which took place on January 20, 2009.

And now I’m going to go make a strong cocktail.

Thank you, Barack and Michelle, for your 8 years of service.

Day 18 – The Jimmy Carter Spoon

Since this is an inauguration week, I guess I should pull out the spoon from the first presidential inauguration I remember. Jimmy Carter.

Not a great president, but a genuinely wonderful human being. He and his wife, Rosalynn, have given their post-political lives to the people, working extensively with Habitat for Humanity and establishing the Carter Center, the mission of which is “Wage Peace, Fight Disease, Build Hope.”

I salute you, Jimmy Carter. Thank you for caring.
