Hi.

[Bahbah]

Eight years of two decent, honorable people in the White House. I hope it’s not eight years before we can say that again. I have to endure at least four.

Our baby had to be taken to the ER for the first time a few nights ago. She pulled over 2 wooden tv trays and hit her on the forehead and she had a huge bump. Won't be the last time, though. Dr. said it was a good thing that it was swelling outward instead of in her brain.

Have just finished reading the 2 books about that Lady of the Angels school fire back in 1958. Heartbreaking. Could have been my school, too, which did burn in 1973 but it was at night. I think it was at night. Same open stairwells, same kind of wooden floors with decades of junk on them.

Thank you for so many beautiful pictures of Mrs Bush. She looks lovely in red. The White House looks wonderful.
