Melania is finally looking relaxed with a great big smile.  She looks gorgeous.  It must be overewhelming for her and other first ladies.

I was feeling so young since I only recognized two of the women in that picture.  Then I figured out who two others are.  Oh well Smiley Happy


Lady Bird took me a moment.


Okay - rub it in Ladies Smiley LOL

thank you, abbeythe 8th, great account of that historical occasion.  I'm not at all surprised it was Pat Nixon.  She was notoriously private, and a deeply sensitive woman.  She was very hurt by the nickname "Plastic Pat", that some unkind people applied to her when in the White House.

 

I remember seeing an account by Diane Sawyer who as a very young woman befriended Pat.  She said Pat was very lonely, and was sweet, delightful, girlish and affectionate as a friend.  She had had a very hardscrabble childhood, and been somewhat traumatized and probably isolated by the nonstop, mostly unfriendly limelight that accompanied being the wife of Richard Nixon.

 

So I'm not suprised by that sensitive gesture toward another First Lady...

I almost wish I wasn't going to dance class shortly as I'm enjoying the show.

 

But, hey, there's plenty more to come!

Ivanka looked stunning in the green at the laying of the wreath ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.


I just have to think she was wondering why they just didn't name him something, you know, like Bob Smith.

I'm kind of funny about real time in sports and big events!

 

I'll only miss 90 minutes.

 

But I WILL DVR, just in case I must see something I missed!  Thanks for the reminder

O.K., the country guys are fine, but I don't like Man Buns.
