A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....06-28-04....Military Monday

You'll find short descriptions of my meeting TWO Presidents HERE in my Finest bio from March 2003.

"Yeah that's it, I coined a new word! Hehehehe. Are you buying it?"

But of course!
Statisfied will fit nicely in a poem that needs a rhyme for "grtatified"!!

Will get right to work on it - eventually, if not later..:))

I remember the Bush story now. I was stunned about his comment that he'd observed your tag earlier [during his speech]. It sounds like something my Dad, who is very observant, would have said.

[LadyX]

Here is how President Bush signed my homemade label:

and some photographs taken of him that day:

I took this and many others from my position just 12' away from the truck.

This (taken by my husband, and was also caught on Fox News Channel footage I viewed 2 days later) shows the back of LadyX's head and her hand holding high the Invitation to the speaking engagement in February 2003 in the town where she lives.
He plucked it from the air, signed it, too, and held it back up for me to retrieve.

The signing on my body came after that, and after he was turning to the other side of the crowd -- I "just happened" to leap into the path I thought he would take..:))

A little later, my husband and I shook his hand before he crossed the street to get a chocolate milkshake in the drug store there that still has an old-fashioned soda fountain.

LOL. Please make sure you ping me when you get it written, I'd love to see that. You're so much fun I hate to leave, maybe if I'm good I'll get to come back later. :) Bye for now.

I hope I can meet our Dubya someday! :^D

That is so beautiful, Lady! I wanted to try my new skills you taught me by posting one of the pictures, but it is 97,000 bites, and I haven't learned to "shrink" them yet! And now hubby wants supper; could you PLEASE post # 9 or 10 in that same group? Both are so pretty!

[LadyX]

The number of bytes should not exceed 70,000 bytes, KM.
Here is # 9 & # 10 - # of bytes Not Available, and I will reduce their sizes a little, as I did the one above:

"President Bush triumphs - again - with his Texas-style card playing, plunking down his cards on the table right in front of The Players at the NATO Conference, with the whole world watching."

The good guys won today. Brilliant move by President Bush.

[The Mayor]

looks like a hot summer sun in the desert!

I often said that I would not play poker for money with Dubya. He is really good.

[MeekOneGOP]

That is the PERFECT picture and caption for this day !!

I am speechless. Just perfect and beautiful.

Thanks .....

I am so proud of my president, his administration and our military men and women today. Thank you all for celebrating them too. A good night picture....think it speaks wonders....

[onyx]

Yes indeed.
It's perfect.
Thanks for the ping, Meek.

[The Mayor]

This was a shock to everyone, I think the terrorists are stunned, as the new president said "the occupation is over".

Your not totally on your own but this is hopefully the beginning of something positive for the Iraqi people..

[deadhead]

Hi Meek and all. I had planned to post the photo of the note that Condi wrote and President Bush wrote on the note "Let Freedom Reign", love that photo...then I saw that Diver Dave posted it. Two minds with the same thought :-) So, I continued to search the AP photos and found this beautiful photo with the caption. Glad you like it, I do too :-)
