10. When I was only a mere 66

I think both Sasha and Malia were already taller than me. I'm practically an Irish elf!

12. Then you will have a pot of gold when the sun sets. And how are the new trees doing?

And you're not short, mind you, you're petite. Keep telling yourself that. I'd always lied about my height anyway, desperately wishing to be taller. Sigh.

13. I was once engaged to a Ramstein

He was 6'8" so when I wanted to really argue with him, we'd head over to the stairway and I'd stand on about the third step up so as to look him in the eye. He was still hard to make listen, though. Not intentionally, but with his background and height he'd simply grown up w/o much experience in that skill.

Although it might've foretold our eventual doom, one funny thing happened when I got a new JRT female puppy and he happened to be over at my place, playing with her. When he got down on his hands and knees on the floor, I warned him w/o success until she jumped up and bit him hard on the nose. Playful but it drew a spot of blood. He got mad and went home. Things were never quite the same between us after that, and within a month we'd split. Broke my heart at the time, but since then I've come to see we were doomed from the start. His family didn't care for my rather modest background and fiery politics. He tried to ignore that, but sooner than later it would've been impossible to continue.

That said, I don't have a problem with most tall people. My diminutive stature tends to bring out a protective rather than abusive feeling in them if they're decent to start with. That brings its own set of lesser problems but nothing to cause more than a slight ripple. For instance when they see me leaving the store with a 40-lb bag of dog food slung over my shoulder, they figure out I'm not quite helpless. They might say something like, "Is that you under there, ****?" And they tease, but it's friendly.

Where is all of the above.... I can't choose just one!!!!!

Okay...I will but I still say all of the above, freshwest!



In this tender, beautiful letter to his daughters, President Barack Obama has written a moving tribute to thirteen groundbreaking Americans and the ideals that have shaped our nation. From the artistry of Georgia O'Keeffe, to the courage of Jackie Robinson, to the patriotism of George Washington, President Obama sees the traits of these heroes within his own children, and within all of America’s children.

Breathtaking, evocative illustrations by award-winning artist Loren Long at once capture the personalities and achievements of these great Americans and the innocence and promise of childhood.

This beautiful book celebrates the characteristics that unite all Americans, from our nation’s founders to generations to come. It is about the potential within each of us to pursue our dreams and forge our own paths. It is a treasure to cherish with your family forever.
