Reflect for a moment on the last 500 working hours of your life. You may have done some inspiring things like helping a room full of children to read, or maybe you you did something less inspiring like making 20 thousand calls to sell subscriptions of USA Today. In any event, White House florist Laura Dowling organized about 80 volunteers to spend a total of that much time twisting pipe cleaners for her decorative likeness of Bo the White House dog. (a Portuguese water dog)
The impressive final product made its debut at the White House last week along with other Christmas decorations including elaborately decorated fir trees and dried oak leaf rosettes.
Maybe this is what President Obama meant when he said, “we’re still a people capable of doing big things.”
