since the tribute is to President Bush I thought you all might be interested to know that ohioWfan, her son Eric and myself went to Charleston to see the President last night. Our report is on last night's "dose" thread. We had a spot on the barrier in front of the stage. ohioWfan told the President, "I pray for you and Laura every day." He hugged her and kissed her on the cheek and said, "Thank you, that is the kindest thing you can do for us." I was able to place my hand over his and he reached up and shook hands with Eric. Eric said, "I just shook hands with ny Commander-In-Chief!" It was a fantastic evening concluded with a fine dinner and a good night's sleep before they departed back to Ohio. I don't think any of us have come back down to earth yet.

"I don't think any of us have come back down to earth yet."

I can't imagine why! LOL! Thanks for sharing with us and the troops.
