Former First Lady Barbara Bush turns 88 today. She has been married to former President George H.W. Bush since 1945. She is also the mother of a President -George W. Bush and of the former Governor of Florida Jeb Bush-who I expect to make a run for the presidency in 2016. During her time as First Lady she worked to advance the cause of universal literacy. Barbara Bush has 5 living children, 21 grand-children and a great grand-child. Reportedly you don’t want to get on Mrs. Bush’s bad side. George H.W. will forgive you but if you slight the family Barbara will never forget or forgive you!

A lovely lady. . . .namaste . . . .Anne
