I Just Can't Believe It !!!!!!!!!!

This story starts this past Saturday night when my husband and I were in Lexington for a night out.I had mentioned a few weeks ago that I would like a Hillary shirt,and as we drove by her headquarters my DH said" let's stop and see if they have any shirts".Well we stopped and they didn't have any shirts but they did give me a few yard signs.One thing led to another and as we stood there and chatted with a nice young lady that worked for Hillary we mentioned that we were from the Danville area she proceed to tell us that President or Senator Clinton one would be in the Danville area Monday but they didn't know who, what, when or where at that time.It Seems they keep every thing hush hush until the last minute. Then Sunday morning as I leave for church I received a recorded message form Hillary headquarters saying that President Clinton would be speaking in Danville Monday afternoon.This all sounded to good to be true .Would the crowd be so big I wouldn't get to see him?Would I even be able to get near the house he would be speaking at?These were the thought that kept running through my mind.So we decide to give it a try after all how often is a President in this small town.We got there about and hour before he was suppose to appear,but not quiet early enough to be in the front but close enough he was going to speak from the front porch.



So we waited and waited.......



Even the sound check guy became interesting .




The setting was a historical area of town, the houses there are beautiful.






Then he arrived ,this is his motorcade arriving in the drive way.






And then he finally appeared .This is actually a pinch me moment I still couldn't believe it was actually him.







And we were so close...








All I could think was I will never see a President this close again.









Please Play the video.I think it was funny that I started the video at that moment.





Best Wishes

What a thrill. He spoke at my son's college graduation last year, but my son had already left to go to his job in Seattle and I couldn't get a room anywhere in the area. Very disappointing for me. Go Hillary!
