Laura fandom has been abuzz about First Lady Laura Bush’s visit to Mansfield, Missouri. Her remarks are available on the White House website as several other bloggers have pointed out. I did want to repeat it here with the strong suggestion that every Laura fan visit it whether you want to read the speech or not. Also included are a series of photos showing the interior of Rocky Ridge. These are NOT the same photos that the Springfield Leader included with its story and are of different rooms and different angles. (The Leader’s photographer seemed to favor unusual angles, high or low, where most of these are at eye level.) Take a look!
