Glad to be of “service”...

“Those who travel the high road of humility are seldom bothered by heavy traffic.”

Yeah, that's a good one...

[caww]

Don’t be......I have learned well that when a person is dying the right people are at their bedside at the right time..God appointed. And sometimes none are there...also God appointed.

Finally...was waiting for this photo....Time shared between the Trumps and Bushes in the Blair House...December 4, 2018.

Yesterday President Trump and First Lady Melania posed for a picture with former first lady Laura Bush and the rest of the 'Bush family' after they 'toured the Christmas decorations at The White House'.....

President George H.W. Bush was briefed about his eventual state funeral in 2011 and

he asked "do you think anyone will come?" ..... they did.

All the major news outlets were, for a rare moment, all on the same page.....

I have been looking for a picture of the Bush family members who came for the private tour of the White House. Until seeing the picture posted here, I only heard/read that Laura Bush and a few family members came to see the Christmas decorations with Melania. I’m happy to see that it was more than 20 of the Bush family and that President Trump was with them as well. Thanks for posting the picture.

The day we felt all Americaney.....

Well put, as well as today. BTW, beautiful pictures from yesterday. Especially Melania and Laura and the Bush family along with Pres. Trump and Melania.

It occurs to me the one name missing from all the hoopla surrounding the passing of GHWB is Ronald Reagan.

Final farewell to George HW Bush..

George H.W. Bush has begun his final journey today, as his casket will be taken by train 70 miles from Houston to Texas A&M in a clear-sided baggage car that hails from the golden era of railroads. The locomotive of the train was named 4141 and painted to resemble Air Force One The train's sixth car, a converted baggage hauler called 'Council Bluffs,' has been fitted with transparent sides to allow mourners lining the tracks views of Bush's flag draped coffin.....

There, a motorcade will take Bush to his presidential library at the university, where he will be laid to rest at a private ceremony next to his wife, Barbara, who died in April, and his daughter Robin, who died at age 3 in 1953.
