The President Went to Church at St. John's on Sunday and participated later in the day in a Tee Ball game on the South lawn of the White House.
Monday, July 12th, the President flew to Oak Ridge, Tennessee for a speech on defense of America and to talk about and view radioactive materials put safely in TN vaults from Libya.
After returning to the White House, the President met with the new President of El Salvador, who pledged his support and troops for Iraq.
:-)
Have been too busy to spend much time there, though, but I sure plan on it.
GOOD job!!
Thanks! I'm SO excited about it. And I can't wait to tell everyone at the party on Thursday about it.
On the not-so-good side, my mother claims she doesn't want to get computer viruses (I think it's really that she doesn't want me to help President Bush) so I'm not allowed to work on my website at home. Or rather, she can't know that I've been working on my website on her computer (which, of course, I still do because I'm not walking three miles to the library every time I want to make a change on my site).
I kind of thought it might be your dad who needed you. What a guy at 84. Bless you both.
Hi Prairie--
Send those libs here and they'll know what he!! might be like--it was 90+ degrees and the humidity about that--the heat index was 104. Needless to say I stayed inside all day--but didn't take it easy--cleaned the house like a wildwoman.
Got the lawn mown today. Beans and tomatoes picked....TOmorrow I'll do the sweeping and trimming....Tore the steps off the cabin before I left, so I'd better get them replaced too.....Think I'll hit the sack early tonight....Night...Thanks for the blessing..He has truly blessed us both.
Welcome back!
Lots of storms and some tornados around so I might have to head for the basement at any moment. :-) Hope I get to see all the pictures first!
Thanks so much for tonight's Dose.
Didn't watch any news today, except for tonight's local stuff. Just needed a break, ya know?
Does anyone know how to request a letter from President Bush for a 50th Wedding Anniversary?
AWESOME photos of our amazing president -- LOVE the shirt featured in the t-ball pixes!
GREAT articles from the President's visit to PA last Friday:
EXCERPT FROM ARTICLE ONE:
LANCASTER COUNTY, PA - Wearing a red-white-and-blue blouse and a big smile, Marlene Lefever of East Lampeter Township was shaking with excitement Friday afternoon, talking about her "once-in-a-lifetime" experience.
"He said to me, 'I saw you back there in the crowd. ...You really worked hard to get up here, didn't you?'" she said, sitting quietly by herself in a folding chair.
"He must have seen me because of my American-flag shirt. And I got to shake his hand! With all the people around, I wasn't sure I could," she said, gushing.
At a small business in the middle of Lancaster County farmland, the quiet grandmother of three had just talked with the president of the United States.
Mrs. Lefever was one of the 200-plus people inside the Lapp Electric Service Inc. warehouse, where President Bush had just spoken.
They all had gotten the chance to see and hear the president, but few had been lucky enough to meet him.
Mrs. Lefever, a few days short of her 70th birthday, was one of the fortunate exceptions.
So as crews were dismantling the bright lights and taking the presidential seal off the podium, and as the media were going here and there interviewing political figures, Mrs. Lefever was sitting and "just sort of taking it all in."

EXCERPT FROM ARTICLE TWO:
LANCASTER COUNTY, PA - Heather Friedman had just told George W. Bush, “I love you, Mr. President!”
And the leader of the free world responded by giving the Bird in Hand woman a hug.
And Friedman was walking on air.
“This has just been the trip of a lifetime!” Friedman exclaimed afterward, displaying the ticket that Bush had autographed for her.
For the Bush campaign, the goal is to take the excitement fairly bubbling out of Heather Friedman on Friday – and blanket Lancaster County with it.
Thanks to the president’s trip Friday to Smoketown, the job has gotten a little easier.
As the fastest-starting presidential race anyone can remember continues to run at full throttle, the local Bush/Cheney campaign is shifting into overdrive.

REMEMBER, we expect a full report from you tomorrow evening!!!
Hi homemom. I've been reading from the disruptors handbook about how they are going to cause havoc at the RNC convention.
Check out the link in post #1 this thread:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1170091/posts
The thread itself is actually interesting and disgusting too---a legal association is already in place to defend these disruptor creeps pro-bono!
"In his second term, President Bush will also sit down with an interim leader of a free Iran. By the time he is waiving to us all, for the last time, as he climbs aboard Marine One for the last time, the course of freedom will be set in motion for the Middle Eastern region. 15 years from now he will be credited for delivering freedom to a place many thought impossible, and his Presidential Library will be adorned with a memento of its downfall.... I GUARANTEE IT"
FROM YOUR POST TO GOD'S EAR!!! [. . . excellent analysis per usual!]
HUGH HEWITT'S NEW BOOK LOOKS LIKE A MUST READ!!
According to Hugh, the book ". . . is a comprehensive and passionate statement of the reason to vote for President Bush, the strategy for a Republican win, and the dire consequences of a John Kerry victory. Buy one for your yourself and two for the undecided or Democratic voter in your life."

It's already at #30 on Amazon's bestseller list [NOTE: It was slated for release on July 22; however, Hugh indicated tonight that Amazon already has it in stock!!]

Must read blog from one of our brave AND wise soldiers in Iraq:
AUSTIN BAY SENDS THIS EMAIL FROM IRAQ:
I must respond to those who "want a breather" or wish "to take time out" from the war.
There is no time out in war. Occasionally soldiers get R&R, but that means someone else is pulling guard duty or running patrols. I see Mickey Kaus says "we need a break" and Peggy Noonan is worried that the American people want a breather because current history is too "dramatic." I read Peggy's essay and I get the distinct impression her brilliantly conceived column springs from her own personal weariness-- maybe I'm wrong, but she explicitly tells us she's on vacation. Over at andrewsullivan.com, Andrew Sullivan wrote (linking to Noonan) that he had expressed similar thoughts ("Americans are drained"). I appreciate their openness and honesty; I hope they'll appreciate mine. I enjoy thoroughly Sullivan's commentary, and I'm certain he would be the first to say he can climb in his Cape Cod hammock and blog because soldiers put on their helmets and slog-- and don't quit. Perceptive, honest Americans like Noonan, Sullivan, and Kaus understand that quite well. I make the point as a reminder, a useful reminder. Believe me, the hammock is far preferable to the helmet. I would love to be in my hammock in the Texas Hill Country right now (95 degrees in Austin is far cooler than 119 degrees in Baghdad). But this is helmet time. We --the lot of us, all Americans-- are a long haul war, a constant test of will requiring consistent, insistent effort.
I see that effort given every day here in Iraq. Check the photo you ran of those two young soldiers from the 81st Brigade (Washington State National Guard). I snapped it, at sunset, right after they had returned from a patrol. I see the same vignette every morning, every evening. The smiles break out despite the fatigue-- and then the troops buckle up and do it again. Blood, sweat, toil and tears: that's not simply Churchillian poetry, that's the price of victory, and it's the product of spine. This peculiar war will take years to win, long, focused years of trial and error, mistake and success, but a breather, a time out?

Me, too. Those nasty AP libs even managed to put a nasty spin on the t-ball game.
They'll stop at nothing.
Next they'll be after our little dog.
I believe President Bush is answering that call :-)
We used to call those Mexican wedding shirts.
Dorky, huh?
But the Prez can make anything look good.
Rose, I'm planning on going too!! I'm thinking of making hotel reservations now (if they'll take res this early). Last time I was lucky to get a room at a small hotel in DC. Hoping to connect with other Freepers.
I'm a writer and sometimes we'll do ANYTHING to avoid writing.
When I start polishing the silver...it's time to get worried.
