The Queen definitely got the better deal!When President and Mrs. Obama took tea and cuke sandwiches with the Queen (& poor, always forgotten, Prince Phillip- look at him cast to the side there...), they exchanged gifts.
The Queen gave the President a photograph in a silver frame, just as she gives every visitor, apparently.
(note: that's not really a bad idea- always give the SAME gift. Although... how many pictures of the family in a silver frame does anyone really want? answer- none!)
The President gave the Queen a silver engraved I-Pod, loaded with "40 popular Broadway show tunes."
The Queen definitely got the better deal!
And on other random thoughts about the visit- apparently it's a faux pas to touch the Queen. What? The Royal Ettiquette is beyond me. NO WONDER I haven't received an invitation to Buckingham Palace yet...
Back to real life...

Hmm...I've heard that about not touching the queen. I guess someone forgot to tell our First Lady? Oopsy! :-) What a cool gift! Blessings to you today - B.
