…….”She tries to help the governor not get too carried away with his own role. "I try to keep him grounded. Sometimes I wonder," she said. When he gets a little too puffed up, "I'm always saying: 'Who told you that you were cute today?' "

Still, she intends to get out on the campaign trail and play a more visible part.

"Not that I'm a vote-changer or a vote-getter or anything like that," she said. "But I'll do whatever I need to do because I think it's important that he get re-elected."

You have to grow thick skin, enjoy people, tackle big projects and, in all of it, keep family as a priority, she said.

There was a Change of Command at Camp Mabry a couple of years ago and Texas’ First Lady Anita Perry and her sister were both in attendance. They came up to several of us and shook our hands.

If it hadn’t been for one of the SR NCOs telling us who they were before they got within earshot of us, I had no idea who they were.
