Who is Gerald Ford?
Gerald Ford was the 38th President of the United States, became the first and only president in the history of the U.S. to become president without having to be elected. He was born in Omaha Nebraska in July 14, 1913 and passed on Tuesday December 26th, 2006.
Ford married Elizabeth Bloomer Warren, and had four children. He became vice president in 1973-1974 by nomination after the resignation of Aspiro Agnew. President Nixon nominated him to take the position on October 12.
Ford became president after the resignation of Nixon due to the Watergate scandal on August 9, 1974.
On September 8, 1974 Ford pardoned Nixon, claiming it was in the best interest of the nation. The Nixon Pardon was highly controversial and critics descrived it as a "Corrupt Bargain".
Ford was narrowly defeated in elections by Jimmy Carter in 1976. Ford died of heart complications at the age of 93 at his home in Rancho Mirage.

Today, we are getting ready to have some of my mom's tamales. She's been in the kitchen all day, I went to the store for some last minute shopping I had to do. Then to Cindy's house to get some last wrapping done. We got back and the tamales were being wrapped. My brother is home. My sister and Raul aren't coming today as they had guests coming over. My Dad has to work today. Here are some pictures from the tamales being made.
