Great report. Thanks.

Say 'hi' to Eric for me.

5.56mm

[DrDeb]

Thanks so much for delightfully describing your evening with our INCREDIBLE First Mom -- I could just kick myself for not joining you at this event (I won't make that mistake again!).

[mtngrl@vrwc]

You'll hear from him dear friend, and he will be able to tell you that "Saddam went DOWN" :-)

Saddam, you're going DOWN.........................sincerely, Eric

[ohioWfan]

I will say HI to him WHEN he CALLS!

He must be really busy or away from all phones, because he'd call if he could......

[ohioWfan]

Deb, you would have loved being there! We would have had so much fun together!

Don't make that mistake again! (She says, shaking her finger in Barbara Bush fashion.......)

[ohioWfan]

Can't wait to hear the stories he has to tell, mountaingirl!

And, IMHO, Saddam is already down!

[SuziQ]

Thanks so much for sharing that with us. Good for you speaking up, especially if folks had been cutting in front of you!

Still praying for Eric! Hope you hear from him soon.

[ohioWfan]

I kinda sorta couldn't help myself, Suzi. I mean I was SO close!!

(I still can't believe that she was the one who let us in!)

Thanks for your prayers for Eric, too. I have this feeling he's more involved than we've heard. I am really praying for his safety these days.....

Wow!!! How I would enjoy meeting "Bar". I know when I met "W" there is no mistaking how sincere he is. It shows you what kind of people the Bush family are, no pretense. Hope Eric is doing well. Zach is in Pensacola. He will be there at least 8 more weeks. He has already finished AE training and started the next school. I am always "waiting" for the phone to ring.

[Bushfanatic]

Yeah, it was great! I thought it was funny what she said about the Bibles in the rooms.

[ohioWfan]

Yeah.....can you believe it?? Within 6 months, I got to meet both mother and son! And you sure can tell they're related!! They both have the same zing!

Glad to hear that Zach is well. I don't know if you've heard, but Eric has been deployed to the Middle East. He's been gone for 2 weeks now, and we were hoping to have heard from him by now. We are trusting the Lord that he is well.

Maybe a letter Monday.............

[ohioWfan]

Yes.....I don't think she wanted him to 'outgrow' his love for the Word of God!

And, IMO, it's part of what's holding him together right now.

[kayak]

If I couldn't be there myself I can't think of anyone I would rather have been there than you ..... because of your writing skills it's like we were all there with you.

Goodness! You do music, art, and writing ..... and we all benefit ..... :-)

Thanks for sharing in such delightful detail, sweetie!

Bumping for a later REALLY GOOD read!

Way To Go Ohio!!!!!

[MeekOneGOP]

Alright ! bumpity bumpity . . .

[Miss Marple]

Oh, thank you so much for this report! I almost could see it. And I am so glad you spoke up and got your picture taken!

I have admired Barbara Bush since she became First Lady. She is a wonderful, funny, and interesting person. Thanks for confiming my impression!

[ohioWfan]

kayak......you have the gift of encouragement.....do you know that??

Thank you for 'making my day' with your kind words! (And bringing a tear to my eye, and a smile to my face).

[ohioWfan]

Hey, BG.......I just realized that I left the word "arms" out of one paragraph.

Think you can find it??

[ohioWfan]

HEY! Good to see you here, Meek! And THANKS for the BUMP!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Oh.....great.

Is this something like a challenge? A duel? A slap across the face with your white gloves?

Oh man.....................................
