For all of us who could not be there in person I've put together some great pics (along with some great music to go with them) of our First Couple enjoying themselves. (click on the each of the 3 song titles to listen to the music)
Here's another great photo from the Inaugural Balls:
You can see that Laura's dress is a very pale blue while Barbara's is a creamy or antique white.
I was lucky to be very close to the First Lady when she was in Sarasota, FL in October! She has the most beautiful blue eyes and an aura of 'goodness' and a gracious charm about her.
Lovely pictures of a lovely couple
Nice Thread, thanks.
I remember reading before the 2001 Inauguration that W had taken dance lessons so he could get through ceremonial duties. Apparently, he can fake about 3 steps before he gets totally lost.
Laura would obviously make the ordeal easy for him, but I've been wondering about that young servicewoman he danced with? I wonder if she figured out that he was doing something he'd really rather not just to honor her and the rest of the troops. Or maybe she was getting hazardous duty pay. :-)
I would imagine she was briefed. No matter, it will be an experience she'll never forget. And the troops were honored. Cool.
Thanks for the ping to the great pictures Meek, what a beautiful couple!!
And commentary from the party of HATE.

Yes'm. :^D
I really wanted to save this thread..I checked it and only get red xs now..It was so lovely.
Probably outstripped the authorized bandwidth -- I missed the thread the first time and was hoping to see it. Hope she gets them back up again.
(BTW, whatever happened to the idea of letting us post thread pictures on FR's server??)
I don't know..I hate the red xs on some great threads I've saved! I'm sorry you missed this..I loved it.
Hi Meg33 ~ Sorry about that! I've been doing battle with my server for the past two days and I think it is all finally resolved.... the images should all be back online in a few hours.
I was going to post a link on the Finest thread and noticed...Ping Cedar Dave if it works..He missed the viewing..
Good luck(It was such a lovely thread..I couldn't resist asking)
Today I changed all four of my domains to a newer host server and spent the entire day uploading the thousands of files from domains to my new server (what a task!).
At any rate, here are the inaugural ball pictures, in all their beauty!! Enjoy!!
Oh yeah ... be sure to click on the 3 different song titles posted within the pics to hear each of the songs.
Thanks for posting -- always good to see pictures of the President and First Lady. And thanks for the FReeper pics also.
:^D
