I did swoon a little. It was cool cause I was thinking that for a brief moment the Universe aligned so that the former leader of the free world and me and my kids were in the same place at the same time, touching, making a connection. Corny? Cool!

I thought people would flip about the mohawk cause we too live in a small Southern town. But, even old people come up and tell me they think his hair is so cute. Except my grandma thinks it makes him look too “tough” instead of sweet. My mother-in-law was about to cry about cutting off his baby curls – but even she thinks his do is the bomb!

Also, I love your son’s hair! My 4 year old sports his little mohawk most days. I love it. My husband was afraid it would not go over too well in the little Christian school he goes to. I felt like that was silly, I mean he’s four. But we’re in a really small Southern town and people have set ideas sometimes. Thankfully his teacher always ooohed and ahhed over it. Noone ever said anything negative and one day before Christmas I saw another little boy w/ one..

That’s awesome – for you and your kids. There’s something intoxicating about listening to Bill Clinton – I can just imagine being in the room w/ him. My husband and I watched him on some political show a few months ago and my husband got up and said “I don’t know why, but I want to vote for Hillary now”. I just cracked up!

My mom met him once in Arkansas at a teacher’s convention. (He was govenor) She said all the young women were swooning over him..

That is so cool! Ainsley will remember this for the rest of her life. I love the photo of Zack in the paper. He’s adorable.

Interviewing Nancy Reagan woudl be so cool Mary Emma.

I’ve never shaken a President’s hand before. It was exciting. Hopefully it will be my first not my last!

Thanks for sharing your experience, Tracee, and for including my Presidents’ Day post over at Quilting and Patchwork in your round-up.
I never shook a President’s hand. However, my mom shook Lyndon Johnson’s hand when he was Vice-President…and I took her photo. Even though she and my dad didn’t vote for Johnson, Mother thought it fun to be part of history. As a newspaper reporter, I did interview Nancy Reagan and take her photo with some of the people in our small town during one of the Presidential campaigns.
