Goodbye, Barbara Bush
I didn't leap on the bandwagon when she passed but I'll miss Barbara Bush. She was a dependable image of what a First Lady ought to be, supportive of her husband but willing to voice her own opinions, gracious but not distant. She was a good example to subsequent First Ladies -- not all of them heeded it, but that's how it goes. I think she did her honest best.
My wife and I spent our 25 wedding anniversary on a tour of the New England states. We did a narrated drive by of the Kennebunkport property, but there was nobody there at the time. But still, I agree with your assessment of Mrs.Bush. In fact, I miss having a administration in the White House that has the class and air of quality that we had come to take for granted in our leaders.
ReplyDeleteI think that, to me, it was missing with the Obama's, and now, Donald Trump. I believe that Melania out classes her husband where ever they go. But then again, first lady is not an elected post.
I am just happy when we have someone who thinks America is a great place over the ones we have had half my life that are either crooks or idiots.
