As we are waiting for our copies of "Spoken from the heart" to arrive, we can read an excerpt of Laura Bush's memoir here

Today, Laura's interview with Oprah aired. If you couldn't watch or want to watch again, here are some parts of the interview.

Laura Bush on growing up in Texas, September 11 and the fatal accident that changed her life forever.

I just finished watching Oprah, and I think that was the most delightful interview I have EVER seen on TV.

Laura was absolutely charming, the stories she told fascinating (Oprah actually asked her good stuff - romantic, even.... ;), the girls were fantastic, and the old home movies were priceless.

This is one AMAZING family..........so NORMAL, and yet not!

If it repeats any time, WATCH it!

I just finisted watching my recording of the Oprah interview and must agree with ohiowfan: From beginning to end, this interview was PRICELESS — I particularly enjoyed the visit to the ranch (which featured one handsome former president), and the ‘home movies’ of George and Laura’s wedding and Jenna’s wedding . . . AWESOME, simply AWESOME!

I received her book today and it is excellent. This is, as the reviewer said, not your average political book.

It is literature. Her descriptions of Midland are haunting and beautiful. She accurately captures the mid-60’s at SMU (very similar to my time at Indiana University) and her joy at the birth of the twins (and George’s) was just wonderful to read.

This is a wonderful, wonderful book and I highly recommend buying it if possible. It is one that you will want to keep.

My DVR missed less than the first 30 seconds of the show, but since it will be rebroadcast here at midnight, I’m recording it again with extra time at the beginning and end. Then I’m making a DVD for my collection. Simply fabulous!

Best TV interview EVER!

Does Oprah sell DVD's of her show??

If not, dearest friend Luvya, would you mind selling one of your freshly minted DVD's to your old Ohio friend??

Pretty please?? ;*)

Did everyone who watched it CRY when the girls were on?

Oh, my GOODNESS, they were so touching when talking about their Mom.........and Dad, of course.

Barbara was so moved. SUCH a sweet family!

If it's on again in Texas tonight, you should try to catch it.

onyx said it's on at midnight where she is. Right??

And then after you watch it right away, Luvya can send us BOTH a DVD. ;*)

A GREAT interview.

Laura started talking about her upbringing in Midland with Mother and Dad and Grandparents. She spoke about the auto accident - which the girls didn’t know about - until someone told them. And then, Laura told them about it in thier teens. Tears. Her mariage to George W Bush, and thier wish for babies.

Then Jenna and Barbara. Their idyllic homelife in Midland -which Jenna later referenced in the toast Laura made at the rehearsal dinner - more tears from the girls. (((loved it )))))Talked about September 11, and Lynne Cheney. The girls spoke about how their mother knew what was going on in their lives - and nudged them towards their destiny in thier lives.

Oprah was very respectful, and asked the twins about their letter to the Obama girls. And they told about the letter they had written to the Obama girsl. Remember who your Dad is - he is not the person written about and lampooned in the media. It was so dear. Opral loved it.

It was a beautiful interview. Laura allowed cameras on the ranch. SHE was driving the pickup around the ranch, showing the audience the beauty of thier home, and ranch, as well as Jenna’s wedding videos.

If you can see it I would highly recommend it. A lovely portrait of the the Bush family. A Mother and her girls, telling their story.

And we knew it because the Dose kept us in the loop. Thank God for the Dose.
