poor dead thing.
She’s with her Ronnie, now. May she RIP.
oh I bawled about it yesterday, remembering how we cried when HE died. we actually visited the Reagan library 2 weeks after his death, xsgirls and I. We were on our way to a family vaca in Hawaii, and that was a stop over for us to break up the trip. xsboy and hub stayed behind in DC bc he had a hockey game and they met us a day or so later just in time to fly to HI from LA. xsbaby who was a young child at the time had written a handwritten note to Pres Reagan which we left there with the flowers etc. that were left in a makeshift memorial. we bawled ourselves sick on that tour.
Reagan is my favorite president in my lifetime. Nancy was a bit out there, but she loved and supported him.
maybe she was, or maybe it was just the mainstream media maligning her, she was a fave target of their’s. I have to say the Obama’s statement was very tasteful and complimentary. I read that Nancy helped Michelle transition, and they had phone calls and lunches to accomplish that end. That surprised me.
Nancy’s astrology was her eccentric thing, not quite what the media made it out to be. The other thing I recall was that she bought new dishes for state dinners......if that was all they had they were scraping the bottom of the barrel.
