Yes....it changed then, and changed again on 9/11. She now has to live with SS agents wherever she goes......and I've heard that she hates it.

That's what it said in our paper.......check C-Span's schedule between 8 and 11.

I haven't done that yet.

Just checked the schedule......unless it's in the 8:00 TBA slot (Eastern time), it's not on their schedule for this evening.

I'm guessing that's when it will be on, though.

These bucks were from my beloved late father......he would be proud to have me spend them for such a delightful occasion!

First Mom

I loved this article, Ohio !! It reminded me so much of the most FAVORITE book I have ever read. "BARBARA BUSH A Memoir".

For anyone who has not read it, let me highly recommed it to you. It is almost 600 pages, and don't let that freak you. From the first sentence to the last, it will grip you. You will fall in love with Barbara !! You will meet a fiercely loving and loyal wife. A protector of her family. A crusader for her husband. An example of what a woman is.

You will be in awe of how much LIFE they have led !! I would have this book on the cupboard as I prepared a meal. I could not put it down ! I can see where Geo. W. gets his sentimental soft side...HIS DAD !! and I can see where he learned how to be strong in any situation...HIS MOM !! I really hope you go on the journey of Barbara Bush's life in this book. I am telling you..you will never, ever, forget it. I haven't !

Barbara Bush..A Memoir

Thank you so much for a wonderful report. Besides being a wonderful mother and gracious First Lady, she is an excellent speaker. You are aweome for being able to share such a great recounting of the whole experience with us.

During the campaign, my aged mother wrote a very nice note to her, mother to mother, to ask her to suggest to W that he stop the habit that some people called the 'smirk.' Mother got a lovely personal reply back.

And we dont see that downturned half-smile any more either, do we. *L*

Yes! That's the book I had in my hand waiting in line to meet her!

It's marvelous! And she still looks just like that photo......full of life and fun, and love!

It was my pleasure, maica!

Your mom's personal reply gives me hope that she'll write back to me!

I don't imagine, though, that she'll connect my letter with the person in line last night who cried out, "NO!" when she thought she wasn't going to get to meet her! Maybe I'll have to write her again to 'connect the dots!' LOL!

Thank you! You told it so well that I felt as tho I was there with you.

I also felt the angst at the line cutters. What is it with these people who have such nerve to push in?? I hate it when they do that! But - on the bright side, your "NO" caught the attention of 'Bar' and you will always have that wonderful memory! (but I still hate line cutters)

Exactly! You would think that a bunch of good conservatives would have better manners, wouldn't you??

I still can't believe, that when the others were wanting to give her some time before the dinner, that she made the effort to let us meet her!

You're right I will always have a wonderful memory of that moment!

Thanks for sharing this memorable experience!! I'm really happy for you (and a wee bit jealous..LOL).

I read the book you've linked, neenah, and it was really great. Everyone should read it and marvel at the sheer energy this woman has with all the travels and good works she has done....not to mention raising such a wonderful family.

You're welcome Carolina!

And what was more than noticeable is that she is 77 years old and still has energy to give to others!

(Of that, I am jealous.....I can barely take care of myself!)
