Yes...Lady Bird put up with a lot (and it was her family fortune that made LBJ). Everytime I see bluebonnets, I think of Lady Bird and her highway beautification program :)

The story is that LBJ asked the richest girl in town to marry him, whatever town he lived in, and finally got one plain enough to accept him. Very decent woman, though, and the roads in Texas are beautiful. When we lived there, I loved to drive out east or west from the city to see the flowers. We have some great photos of Anoreth in fields of bluebonnets, too.
