The flyover by the President, at his request, was
a highlight of the day. I got a video...

It was a grand day altogether!
It might take about a minute for the video to download, so be patient! :D

[luvie]

Hey! #2431 was for you, too! :D

I got in a hurry and probably left your name out of the ping. LOL!

[fewz]

Wish I could have been there.

[JustAmy]

Geeze, Fewz .... I must be getting old.

That was wonderful. I loved Dean Martin and John Wayne.

I didn’t see that movie .... now I need to rent it!

Thanks for the link!

[luvie]

I wish you could have, too. I wouldn’t have missed it for
the world.

I wish we had them back in the White House. *sigh*

[JustAmy]

I need to get the Holidays posted!! It is almost 2:00 ... what have I been doing all day?

What a thrill of a lifetime!!
I wish I could have been there with you! President Bush and First Lady Laura looked terrific. President Bush’s speech was fantastic! He has a great sense of humor like his mom.

[luvie]

It was a very upbeat speech and he sounded so glad to be home. We were certainly glad to welcome them back here!

I am glad you enjoyed it! Thanks! (((hugs)))

What a neat reminder Lady Jag! I struggle sometimes with “ casting my cares”! I tend to cast and keep my cares all at the same time!

[Lady Jag]

How exciting for you to have been there! I would’ve gotten the chills big time.

Now it remains to be seen what the Bushes end up doing out of politics.

[La Enchiladita]

I got some audio going now and am listening to Mary Chapin Carpenter. Thank you, Billie.

Garden Girl, I don’t know what she is doing now....
