I just love Lady Bird.Her name was Claudia Alta Taylor but her nanny as a baby called her Lady Bird. Lady Bird's parents lived in a big house in the country with a boat, bayous and flowers in Texas. They were rich. Lady Bird's mom died when she was about six, so her dad took her to his big store and when she got sleepy took her upstairs next to the coffins, she did not know what they were, and put her to sleep. She loved the wildflowers they were like friends who cheered her. Lady Bird's dad bought her a car to drive to high school and she graduated college and with her car at the University Of Texas in Austin. She married Lyndon Johnson whom became president.They had two daughters Lynda Bird and Luci Baines. In their yard Lady Bird planted flowers but she wanted all children to have flowers so she encouraged Americans to clean up the parks and beside the roadways and plant wildflowers.She and Lyndon retired to their ranch in Texas covered with wild flowers .All Americans may go there for free.Lyndon and Lady Bird left a lot of money so the Johnson Ranch now a national park is free for all Americans.I would love to go there would not you?
