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.

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!

Way To Go Ohio!!!!!

WOW. What a wonderful report! I especially love her words of advice and all her funny stories. It sounds like she got some great questions from the audience. You have a terrific memory to be able to get all that down in writing. I felt like I was there myself!

My favorite "Bar" story: A friend of mine met her during the campaign, when George W. was running for President against (insert name of awful person, whose name I will not mention lest I ruin this nice thread.) Anyway, Bar joked that she thought her son should win the election because "he's the handsomer candidate"! Ain't THAT the truth?! :-D

Anyway, thanks for this marvelous report!

P.S. (I HATE line-cutters!!!!!)

Thanks for the ping! Great report~ I'm so glad you got to meet her! I think I'll take her advice on rule #1 and try to keep my mouth shut about the clothes. But,oh boy, is it hard!!!!

Thanks for such a detailed, descriptive report. I felt as though I were right there in the room with you. Glad you had a great evening.

What a fabulous evening ~~ with a beautiful and gracious LADY! I'm a big Barbara Bush fan and the more I hear about her the more I like her. Thanks for sharing your exciting experience.

GREAT!! Thanks so much for posting this.

It sure sounds like you and Mr. O had quite the evening with Bar. Thank you for recapping your evening so beautifully and so descriptively of such a warm, witty, and wonderful woman. I know you didn't have much time to chat with her, but did you tell the First Mom that her oldest son kissed your cheeck? When you get your picture back, you hafta show us. I'm so happy for you and Mr. O that you had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Bush. So who's next - Laura? or Poppy?

[admiralsn]

Great story. So happy for you. This Texan is hoping to at least see any of the Bush Texans sometime in my lifetime.
