Mrs. Landingham pulled up a web site detailing the history of the Cherry
Blossom Festival while she ate a double dip ice cream cone....
Bonnie spent part of her lunch hour trying to book a hotel room so her
parents from Indiana could visit for the festival...
Ginger traded lunch in the Mess for a jog along the Potomac...
Cathy visited the Mess after deciding to forsake her usual act of stealing
Sam's doughnut. Instead, she went in search of strawberries...
Carol stayed at her desk because a Secret Service Agent kept stopping by
with questions, comments and compliments...
Ainsley imagined the sight and smell of the dogwoods and magnolias in bloom
in North Carolina...
Charlie took a bunch of daffodils to Zoey...
Zoey wasn't there to get them, she cut classes...
Toby closed his door to lovingly oil his baseball glove securing a ball in
the pocket with rubber bands to get it conditioned, just so...
Andrea stopped in to deliver a sliver of homemade lemon meringue pie to him
with the promise of more where that came from...
Margaret carefully tallied up her order total from a garden catalog to get
it in the mail. It was the last day for free shipping...
Leo remembered putting up a swing set and pushing a giggling girl with red
hair high into the clouds on that swing...
Mallory couldn't get the kids off the playground and couldn't get their
minds back on the their lessons once back in the classroom...
Sam made an appointment at a driving range with a golf pro and daydreamed
Tiger Woods called looking for a partner...
Danny winked at C.J. during the morning Briefing...
C.J. edged by Danny afterwards, squeezing his hand. Then she goosed him...
Donna came to work in a sleeveless dress with bare legs and humming
Stravinsky's "The Rite Of Spring"...
Josh whistled "Where The Boys Are" while wondering if female grad students
went to Florida's east or west coast for Spring Break...
The First Lady kept her Staff waiting while she sent off an e-mail to the
President. Then she asked someone to open a window to cool things off...
The President kept his Staff waiting while he read the First Lady's e-mail.
He asked for a glass of water and fanned his flushed face. But then he
grinned...
It all adds up to Spring Fever, White House style.
The End.
