Such amazing work from our FL.. a healthier nation, what a concept!


Michelle Obama sets her garden in stone


The first lady makes it harder for a future president to scrap her South Lawn legacy.

Ok, Ive said it before and I'll say it again, she is the epitome of class and grace. The way she and her family have been treated is beyond disgraceful. She has just held her beautiful head high and proven them to be spiteful racists. I love our FLOTUS.

and she and her husband have amazing strength so that the disgraceful treatment doesn't touch them.

They know who they are.. and if the ignorant racists need to act out that's their problem.

people - inside and out!

This is yet another reason to vote for Hillary - to ensure the preservation of the FL's garden so that "Let's Move" and future young ones can participate in this very worthwhile project. This is a tradition that Hillary will most assuredly preserve and enhance.

Hiya Cha!

I hadn't seen it before.. it's such a great shot.

It will be fascinating to read in the history books.. the first African American President and the first Woman POTUS. She helped him in his Admin as SOS and now he's doing everything he can to help her win the White House.

Former rivals who became great friends along the way.

Thanks, she~

Who knows how many children and families are being influenced by her hands-on example? The Obama's have brought more than grace and dignity to the WH; they live an active, healthy lifestyle that many will want to emulate. History will be very kind to this family, much more so than many present day people.

Thank you, Cha. This is a wonderful start to my day.

January 2017 is going to be so soon after all these wonderful years of President Obama and First Lady Michelle. It will be interesting to see what all they're doing post Presidency.

I have a feeling they'll always be in the news for doing something grand.
