Where was I?
On January 21, 2013, I attended an Inauguration Dinner & Dance organized by, Ms. Gwendolyn "DeDe" Daniels, and Ms. Iris Lancaster. I had a lovely evening. We dined, danced, applauded and saluted our 44th President of the United States.
The highlight of the evening for me was when the DJ stopped the music, and management turned all the TV monitors around the room to CNN so that all the guests could seize the moment when President Barack Obama and First lady Michelle Obama, danced to the sounds of many R&B Vocalists on that great night of "The Presidential Inaugural Ball."
Many thanks, to Ms. Gwendolyn "DeDe" Daniels for hosting an unforgettable evening, and much love to Ms. Wilma Perkins, for all her special touches.

The body of a missing Surfside Beach swimmer was found on Saturday July 3, 2011.
SURFSIDE, Texas - Authorities have recovered the body of a 13-year-old girl who went missing while swimming with a friend in Brazoria County on Friday, July 2, 2011.
Deputies said the girl was swimming with a 16-year-old friend at Surfside Beach near Stanek Road when they got caught in a current around 8:20 p.m. on Friday.
Authorities said a Good Samaritan in a recreational boat saw them struggling and managed to rescue the 16-year-old. She was airlifted to the hospital in unknown condition.
The U.S. Coast Guard arrived to the scene and used boats and a helicopter to search for the missing 13-year-old.
They searched until 2 a.m. on Saturday and began again at daybreak, covering an area of more than 36 square nautical miles, authorities said. The search was called off around 11:45 a.m.
On Saturday afternoon around 2:35p.m. Coast Guard officials said the girl's body was found near Access Road 6, about 20 yards offshore by a fisherman.
