Yes that is me with the First Lady !I was privileged to attend the National Book Festival Breakfast at the White House with my sister Anneke.
The food was fantastic and the atmosphere even better. I am so fortunate to have been able to experience this! I had full access the entire East Wing of the White House ! I was allowed to sit on chairs take all the pictures I wanted ..... unbelievable !! I know this sounds hackneyed, but I got to touch feel and breath history. Of course, the beautiful Sargent on the wall didn't hurt either.
Below are the links to the event and the First Lady's Speech.
