PL1's Birthday

So today is PL1's birthday.Every year for the past several years,PL1+2 have been going to the John F. Kennedy Library on PL'1s birthday. They go because they love JFK,and it reminds them of what was, would could have been and unfortunately what is......We decided that we haven't had one of our famous Boston tours in awhile so here we go....
This is the front of the museum designed by I. M. Pei and it overlooks Dorchester Bay.

If you look closely you can see an outline of a boat.It is JFK's sailboat and it is kept right there(in the nice weather) outside facing the ocean

Look closely and you can see the outline of Boston...

They had a lot of new things one of which was this picture of some of the Kennedy's....

Look at this phone!!! Hard to imagine(and remember).......This was Bobby Kennedy's when he was Attorney General....

Jack + Bobby.......

This is a reconstruction of JFK's oval office and that really was his famous rocking chair....

The desk(remember that famous picture of John John playing under the desk??)



They made this hall look just like the White House Hall.......

Jackie's dress(PL2 thinks she must have had a size 2 waist).....

Look at this guest list for a party in which Pablo Casals was going to play...guests included Leonard Bernstein,William Faulkner,Robert Penn Warren,EB White,John Steinbeck EE Cummings,John Dos Passos,Aaron Copland,and many other famous artists and writers and musiscians.You can see all the handwritten comments made by Jack and Jackie. JFK said that this was the greatest assembly of talent in one place since Thomas Jefferson dined alone!!!!!!!!

John Glenn's famous suit worn by the first American to orbit the earth...

A replica of a campaign office.....

No words needed!

Look at this TV camera!!!!!





This is a replica of the Democratic National Convention in L.A. that nominated JFK for President.(PL1+2 were at the Democratic Convention here in Boston in 2004 but that is another story....)

Check this out! These are household items from the 60's(PL2 remembers fighting her sister for use of that hairdryer ALL the time)

A sweet little postcard sent to Caroline.....

Now look closely at this picture...Do you notice what dog is in the left hand side of the picture???!!!!!! A Wire Fox Terrier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A few sage words from the President(from his acceptance speech in the convention..)

The Museum always ends the same way and leaves PL1+2 very sad ............

Well you must have figured out that we were not at the Museum but we stayed home and did some reading........

So PL1+2 are regenerated with values to carry them through one more year,they went on and had a fabulous steak supper,and we would like to wish all of friends and their families a very Merry Christmas !!!!
