3. I'm sure Hannity will have a little fun with this since he constantly

jokes about it looking like a trailer. I guess his party would know.

4. Hannity should fit in well at the Dubya Library.

He should have quite a choice of coloring books to pick from!

7. Thank you so much....We're going weekend after next (June 17th)

for the "Red Jacket Ball", a charity event. This year they're honoring Gert Clark, Wes's wife, for her charitable works in Little Rock. Bill Clinton is the keynote speaker and Grey Goose is providing martinis. We're both WAYYYYY beyond excited!

We're gonna do the library and see Little Rock the next day.
