Marian Robinson did not feel comfortable moving into the White House at first . She had never lived outside of Chicago . But after five months in the executive mansion Mrs Robinson is having the time of her life and she would not have it any other way .
She entertains visitors from Chicago. She attends White House dinners and concerts hosted by her daughter, the first lady, Michelle Obama , who is headed to Martha's Vineyard for a vacation soon . She dines at local restaurants and delights in events at the Kennedy Center, where she often sits in the president’s box and chats with performers.
In fact, Mrs. Robinson, 71, is so busy these days that the Obamas hired a baby sitter to watch their two daughters one evening because the nation’s first grandmother had plans.
