Slick Willy

No, this is not a reference to our little Will, but rather another more popular one. Yesterday Mary, John's mom got to get up close and personal with former president, Bill Clinton. He was in Decorah speaking on behalf of his wife. Ok, so she wasn't really up close and personal with him, but she did manage a photo op that I thought I would share. (Note to other family members...see, I can put pictures of YOU on here too!)

Wow!!!! That is a great picture. Mary I'm sure that will be a keepsake momento for you. It is awesome! I must keep my eyes open for a camera in someone's hand. Deb is getting too good a this blog thing. Hahahaha

I'm particularly impressed by the security guy in the background ... :) Mary's movin' and shakin' with important people. :)

"happy-go-lucky" isn't the right word for the Secret Service, that's for sure. There was another guy, in a parka, right near me who had to be Secret Service as well- he spent more time looking around at the windows, etc. than the speakers. We made eye contact once and he immediately looks down at my hands (which I kept jammed in my pockets- hate to think where I'd be now otherwise).

Hard to beat Bill for having a grasp of nuts-and-bolts policy *and* the down-to-earth ability to sell. Chelsea was there too, and it's too bad she didn't speak as well.
