Events at the Library in 2008

After a peformance of the musical
based on the book "Pinkalicious", children had a "pink" tea party. The Barbara Bush Library Friends sold children's books at the event.

About 3,000 third graders in 150 classes visited the art museum, performing art center, and library on an "Art Day" field trip. We had a scavenger hunt for them.

Hurricane Ike (September 13, 2008)

We thought Vic's house was ready for Ike, but see that one little window with no covering ...

The next day, see the tree coming through that window???

Vic surveys the damage.

All yards looked like this.

Visits to the Outdoors

We love the outdoors in Houston, and are lucky to live near some beautiful places. Our dog, Holley, is overjoyed to accompany us whenever we are willing.
