President-Elect, Barack Obama will be visiting - with his wife Michelle and their two daughters - today and they will find this out for themselves.
I sort of envision George W. asking Barack if he would like to try out his new chair. He likes to make people feel at home!
Even as bad as George W's approval rating is these days, I imagine most people would accept an invitation to the White House or to the ranch!
Laura has always thought through carefully plans for visitors and has a wonderful way for imagining how the other person would be comfortable.
Hopefully, we will see some pictures today of the Obamas' visit because George and Laura will make them feel like royalty! You can count on that!
Southern Methodist University (SMU) will be the site of George W's Library and so the younger Bushes will be making their home in Dallas-Ft. Worth/the Metroplex. I have only stayed in Ft. Worth once and have been through Dallas a few times. It is a very stylish area and they will be able to have a beautiful home there. Think Neiman-Marcus and you are on track.
The Bushes Senior (George H.W. & Barbara) live in Houston and his library is at Texas A & M in Bryan/College Station. I have often commented on them being at the Houston Astros games in owner Drayton McLane's box.
Many of you know that George W. was one of the owners of the Texas Rangers, based in Arlington, near Dallas. The family loves baseball! In a book about her, Laura explains that she likes baseball so much because it is a "social" experience. You can watch the game and still have a conversation with the person next to you.
For several months now, I have thought about George W. marking off the days on this calendar till they get back to the ranch in Crawford, Texas. Perhaps not every son is cut out to be in the "family business" as Prince Charles of England likes to call it!
