Bless you, Starwise. So good of you to be timely with the photos.
Dear Mrs. Gerald Ford stands at the top of the Capitol steps, awaiting her husband's casket.

I believe the Ford family is well grounded in their Christian faith.

The other thing she said OFTEN was.."well..he's the only dem I ever voted for"....LOL.

My dem mother only voted against two Dems .. Carter and Clinton .. she hated them

Reagan she loved and if anyone spoke ill of "her Ronnie" she would rip them to shreds *L*

President Ford's casket is going on the steps ... Betty looks very tired

Sounds like we'll be spared them sleeping through this funeral, as well as the presence of dingy harry and a few other turncoats.

Stunningly beautiful. Makes me want to go tour Washington, D.C

Went there a couple years back .. my nephew was getting married .. so we arrived earlier to tour the city

It really is a fabulous city .. even with the warts now in charge of Congress

((Cheney Chick))) VP was one of his best friends and close associates. I know he's deeply saddened.

She looks great at 88. Also, I am just so touched by this. I remember how the press ridiculed him.
