Bush Talks About Life Outside the White House 'The Only Thing We Don't Have Are the Newspapers,' Says Former First Lady By JONATHAN KARL and KAREN TRAVERS
HOUSTON Feb. 26, 2009—
Commercial airline travel, trips to the hardware store for nightlights and walks around the neighborhood all part of everyday life these days for former President George W. Bush and his wife, former first lady Laura Bush.
In an exclusive interview with ABC News, Mrs. Bush said she and her husband were settling into a normal, post-presidency life at their new home in the Preston Hollow section of Dallas after spending a month at their ranch in Crawford while the house was finished.

Mrs. Bush said she has yet to cook a meal herself, because friends have been bringing over prepared dinners to welcome them back to town. The Bushes have had several large dinner parties with old friends, but they had to resort to borrowing furniture to accommodate their guests.
"We have very little furniture. We don't have a kitchen table or a dining room table," she said. "Friends loaned me a kitchen table and the other night I had 16 people for dinner and I had to borrow chairs from the Secret Service next door."
After years of having everything they wanted right at their finger tips, the Bushes are finding that sometimes the little things are the most difficult to get.
"The only thing we don't have are the newspapers. It has been slow to get The Dallas Morning News delivered," she said. "People bring the newspaper to us later in the day. It's just not being delivered yet."

As far as my grammatical mistakes are concerned, I was too angry to care about weather the exclaimation points or capitalizations were right.
I was getting my point accross.
now be a good troll and PISS! OFF!
I’m not upset, I guess I assumed he was born in Maine, though now that I think about it, the family home there was just a place that the various family members would gather to visit. I know that Poppy and Bar lived in different places in New England, before heading out West to make a new life.
The Bush haters on FR cannot let it go, they are as bad as the left wing lunatics.

Right ... they are just as deranged .... lunatics.
President Reagan
"He's going to be doing fundraising to get his Presidential Library built, and get his new Institute up and running. I think he envisions it to be a sort of think tank."
He's also going out on the speaking circuit.
My point wasn’t whether George was equal to Reagan in all things, only that they both prefered their “ranches” and their wives prefered the city.
Still grateful we had George instead of Gore and Kerry.
Grateful God gave us both Reagan and Bush.
And I assume you’re a European because your family once came from there?
I spent all of three months in the state I was born in, because my father was stationed there at the end of WWII.
George H.W. Bush was attending Yale after fighting in WWII when his first child, George W., was born a year after I was born.
Neither of us is sympatico with the States of our birth. We were just the tip of the iceberg of the babies of victorious and lucky to be alive veterans.
LOL :)
Amen...
Amen
Neither are pointless jabs at W.
It is a sad fact of life that these types of pro W threads always seem to bring out the W. haters of Free Republic. I would have thought by now that their time is all taken up hating a legitimate target, Hussein Obama.
That he is, and I hope he makes boatloads of money in the process! ;o)
ROTFL! Quite the contrast, eh?
Thanks for posting the picture of President Bush. It’s refreshing to see a man pulling a little around-the-house labor.
You would never see Obama do such dirty and undignified things (/s) like chop wood.
What a Great Post! Thank You.
Someone asked about Crawford, I gave my opinion.
Sorry if you don't like it.
Some folks here really gotta grow a thicker hide.
I agree. It will be a long four years. I do wonder whether he is actively trying to ruin our economy with this hideous spending binge. Then he can take advantage of more “crises” to rush through more radical changes that most people don’t want.
