The completed 300 piece jigsaw puzzle "Fireside Chat," artwork by the very talented Minnesota wildlife artist Kim Norlien, and manufactured by Masterpieces.
I thought that this cozy fireside scene might warm up viewers in colder climes. Hope you like it. This puzzle was great fun to complete.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivering his Fireside Chat "On the Banking Crisis," March 12, 1933.
George Segal (1924-2000) was given the commission for the first section of the monument, the area dealing with the Great Depression. The fireside chats made Roosevelt less the exalted and far off bureaucrat and more a concerned friend.

FDR came into the homes of everyone with a radio for his "Fireside Chats." You can still hear them if you search for old time radio on the 'net.
The "Presidential Library" is right on the grounds of Hyde Park on the Hudson, a place that FDR wished he could run the country from instead of Washington, DC. The museum contains so much, all going on at one time, that trying to isolate things to photograph, behind Plexiglas, and with no tripods allowed, is a photographic nightmare. Behind the microphone are bigger-than-life murals. There are projected movies going in many areas, and recorded audio and visual Fireside Chats, along with an amazing number of collections. FDR collected model wooden ships, mostly tall ships, and there are rooms and rooms of them....but the vast majority are in sections that only staff can truly see.

The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, dedicated on May 2, 1997, is spread out over 7.5 elaborate landscaped acre along the Cherry Tree Walk on the Western edge of the Tidal Basin as part of the National Mall. Designed by Lawrence Halprin, it traces 12 years of the history of the United States through a sequence of four outdoor gallery rooms--one for each of FDR's terms of office-- defined by walls of red South Dakota granite.
The idea for a memorial originated in 1946. In 1955, the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial Commission was established by Congress. The current plot of land was secured in 1959 with design competitions following in 1960 and 1966. It wasn't until 1978 that the committee finally approved a design by Halprin and authorized construction in 1982. Ground was broken in September of 1991.
Running water is an important physical and metaphoric component of the memorial. Each of the four "rooms" representing Roosevelt's respective terms in office contains a waterfall. As one moves from room to room, the waterfalls become larger and more complex, reflecting the increasing complexity of a presidency marked by the vast upheavals of economic depression and world war.
The first room introduces Roosevelt's first term as President (1932-1936). Robert Graham's relief sculpture depicts his first inauguration. Tom Hardy's a bronze sculpture depicts The Presidential Seal and a Roman-American eagle. In this room, the single large drop of water symbolizes the crash of the economy that led to the Great Depression.
The second room, Social Policy, details Roosevelt's second term from 1936-1940 and the impact of the New Deal, which created social security, worker's compensation, unemployment insurance, welfare, and fair labor standards. Three sculptural groups by George Segal--Breadline, The Rural Couple, and The Fireside Chat--represent Americans during the Great Depression. The wall opens to an open area with five tall pillars and a large mural, created by Robert Graham, representing the New Deal. The five-panelled mural is a collage of various scenes and objects, including initials, faces, and hands; the images on the mural are inverted on the five columns. In this room, the multiple stairstep drops symbolize the Tennessee Valley Authority dam-building project.
The third room, The War Years, covering the period from 1940-1944 and World War II, explodes to a destructive presence, as giant granite blocks line the path, and a chaotic waterfall rushes down. On the wall, one of 21 inscriptions carved by John Benson, is Roosevelt's famous "I have seen war" quote. To the left of the waterfall sits a Neil Estern's 10-foot tall sculpture of Roosevelt, seated in a dining room chair with roller casters and wearing a floor-length cape, with his dog Fala seated nearby.
The fourth room, Seeds of Peace, covers the period from 1945 to 1955, including Rosevelt's final term, his passing and beyond. It includes Leonard Baskin's Funeral Relief and Neil Estern's sculpture of Eleanor Roosevelt, standing next to the United Nations emblem. In this room, the still pool represents Roosevelt's death.
In the forecourt is Robert Graham's life-size bronze portrait statue of Roosevelt, seated in a wheel chair, facing the Washington Monument. This statue was added in January, 2001, after advocates objected to Estern's depiction which concealed Roosevelt's disability. Though Roosevelt suffered from paralysis as a result of polio, he went through great pains to hide his ailment from the public.

The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden, an ongoing exhibition, plores the personal, public, ceremonial and executive actions of the 43 men who have had a huge impact on the course of history in the past 200 years. More than 900 objects, including national treasures from the Smithsonian’s vast presidential collections, bring to life the role of the presidency in American culture.
The National Museum of American History (NMAH), administered by the Smithsonian Institute, collects, preserves and displays American heritage in the areas of social, political, cultural, scientific and military history. The museum, which first opened in 1964 as the Museum of History and Technology, is located on the National Mall in one of the last structures designed by McKim, Mead & White. It was renamed in 1980, and closed for a 2-year, $85 million renovation by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP from 2006 to 2008.
The Smithsonian Institution, an educational and research institute and associated museum complex, administered and funded by the government of the United States and by funds from its endowment, contributions, and profits from its shops and its magazines, was established in 1846. Although concentrated in Washington DC, its collection of over 136 million items is spread through 19 museums, a zoo, and nine research centers from New York to Panama.

A light moment… but Iraq was the one area where Senator Clinton took a deep dive:
“The problem is that the President really thinks he is right.
He is impervious to reason, evidence and argument.”
“We had Osama Bin Laden cornered at Tora Bora, and we just let him go... Now he is getting a lot of new funding from Saudi billionaires.”
“Much of the world believes in the Pottery Barn Rules: if you break it, you own it.”
“I’d hate to see a bloodletting, but there may be no choice.”
I found it hard to connect, whether from her staccato rhythm, or her peculiar habit of looking at the floor for most of her talk.
