Yeah.
Julie.
Daddy?
Hi.
Hi.
I wondered if you thought well about if, or whether you think it would be out of way, maybe if we could, might invite maybe to go with us there.
I mean, we have, that sort of rounds out the party, you know, or something.
Sure, I think that'd be fun.
I mean, he sort of gives us all a lift.
Yeah.
Tells us a few jokes and so forth.
I think that'd be nice.
Yeah.
Well, if you think it's nice, why don't you give him a ring and see if he can come up and be here by 11 o'clock or 12 o'clock.
On Friday.
On Friday, right.
Right.
Now, the way we're going to do this, or tell him 11 o'clock Friday, so that he won't have to bring any clothes or anything, tell Mommy that what I'm going to do is after we have dinner Thanksgiving evening, we will go back to the White House because I'm going to have my appointments in the White House Friday morning.
And that way I can get our clothes together and go over to Andrews and go from there.
That is easier.
Right.
Good.
Okay, I have a call in to Claudia.
Should I call you tonight about it?
Yeah, we'll wait.
There's no hurry.
Okay.
Call me about 6 o'clock.
Good.
Okay.
