1. What an beautiful "farmhouse" Teresa Heinz Kerry has!

That's my ideal home--older architectural style, a little rustic, but still elegant.

2. For someone who has not been groomed for this role, from cradle

to finishing school, Michelle is doing a most wonderful job. Being hostess in these settings can be difficult, language problems, knowing what is correct and incorrect culturally, a daunting task. Way to go First Lady, you are superb and your country is extremely proud of you.

3. Yes, and proud of her parents,

and many similarly situated, who raised fine children in challenging circumstances.

7. I completely agree, Michelle has taken to this like a duck to water

In a way, the lovely, but homey and comfortable setting likely helped here. All of the pictures are lovely. I suspect that all of the First Ladies speak at least some English - if not, on many languages Teresa Heinz Kerry could easily help.

6. Makes me proud and I want to cry, she is so great in this job

we were lucky to have her be "Mrs. Obama!" Her poise and style are laudable.
