Bush Talks About Life Outside the White House 'The Only Thing We Don't Have Are the Newspapers,' Says Former First Lady By JONATHAN KARL and KAREN TRAVERS
HOUSTON Feb. 26, 2009—
Commercial airline travel, trips to the hardware store for nightlights and walks around the neighborhood all part of everyday life these days for former President George W. Bush and his wife, former first lady Laura Bush.
In an exclusive interview with ABC News, Mrs. Bush said she and her husband were settling into a normal, post-presidency life at their new home in the Preston Hollow section of Dallas after spending a month at their ranch in Crawford while the house was finished.
Watch This Exclusive Interview With Laura Bush Tonight on 'World News' at 6:30 p.m. ET, and Again Tomorrow on 'Good Morning America', 7 a.m. ET
Mrs. Bush said she has yet to cook a meal herself, because friends have been bringing over prepared dinners to welcome them back to town. The Bushes have had several large dinner parties with old friends, but they had to resort to borrowing furniture to accommodate their guests.
"We have very little furniture. We don't have a kitchen table or a dining room table," she said. "Friends loaned me a kitchen table and the other night I had 16 people for dinner and I had to borrow chairs from the Secret Service next door."
After years of having everything they wanted right at their finger tips, the Bushes are finding that sometimes the little things are the most difficult to get.
"The only thing we don't have are the newspapers. It has been slow to get The Dallas Morning News delivered," she said. "People bring the newspaper to us later in the day. It's just not being delivered yet."

I figured it was something like that. I just couldn't figure out what the letters stood for. Thanks for the answer and all the commentary! :-)
Born in Maine? LOL
Good grief.
The B
No, he's a Texan.
A pleasure to serve!
Amen. It's been over a month and I still believe they're referring to GWB when referring to the President. Don't think I will ever get used to the arrogant neophyte temporarily occupying the chair.
I don’t blame Bush....I would never watch that demon.
Thank you, sir!
***Thanks for the ping. the freaky BDSers are pathetic.***
Yep, they’re probably still counting chads and saying “Gore won.”
He was born in New Haven, CT.
I read Crawford did not have accommodations for Secret Service. The house in Dallas was more accommodating for that and Laura wanted to be in the city to do things?
Of course, the ignorance abounds here, pretty sad.
He also built his ranch BEFORE he was President.
Amazing the lies told about him even on FR.
The Bush haters on FR cannot let it go, they are as bad as the left wing lunatics.
It’s funny how many people who hate all things blue blood are obsessed with “purity” in that if you’re not born somewhere you’re not part of that place—never mind the Bushes moved there when he was a child, he worked in business there, he was governor. Nope, he ain’t one of them.
LOL!
That’ll get ‘em crazy. “He’s not fit to wear that hat!”
ROTFL!! Someone in the circulation dept. of the Dallas Morning News is gonna get an a$$ chewing!!
LOL...I was close!
LOL...I was close!
Because he hasn't retired. I'm sure he thinks he way too young for that. He's going to be doing fundraising to get his Presidential Library built, and get his new Institute up and running. I think he envisions it to be a sort of think tank.
I'm sure they'll head to Crawford from time to time, just to enjoy the place.
