Well Hello, Mr. President!

On November 18th, with camping chairs and blanket in hand, Hen and I walked to the back of the seventy or so person line at the Southtowne Costco. This is where we would spend the next 17 hours waiting to meet President Bush. Because it was so cold and we were so close to the front of the line we were able to sleep inside the breezeway of the Costco during the night. It was a long time waiting but it was well worth it to shake his hand and get a signed copy of his book. When I shook his hand, he looked me in the eye and said in a very southern accent "Hey there Darling, you didn't stay out there all night, did ya?" And my response was "Of course I did Mr. President!" That made it totally worth it! At which time I promptly went home, took a much needed shower, and went to BED! Unfortunately Hen had to go to school and I honestly don't know how he stayed awake!
