The Bush's welcomed King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia of Spain to a private visit at Prairie Chapel Ranch in Crawford, Texas, for the afternoon.
Mrs. Cheney participated in topping the national Christmas tree in DC.
President Bush ordered an internal review into whether the Defense Department should run covert paramilitary operations traditionally mounted by the CIA, administration officials said November 23, 2004. The presidential directive, signed by Bush last week, asks the CIA and the Departments of State, Defense, and Justice to report back to him in 90 days on "whether or not the paramilitary operations, currently under the control of the CIA, should be transferred to the Department of Defense."
Stephen Friedman, who heads the National Economic Council, is expected to leave the job before the end of the year.
Bush plans to travel to Canada next week.
More photos are available from the APEC summit.
Enjoy your evening on the beach at Sanity Island!
WOO HOO!..Thank you!
I love our president. I wish him (and all of you) a wonderful Thanksgiving. I know something I am very grateful for this year: his relection! :D
(Just got my pumpkin pies out of the oven. Ready for tomorrow!)
What FUN pictures! Relaxed smiles all the way around and that color on the First Lady is gorgeous.

So he's in Canada next week? I hope the traveling eases up pretty soon, I'm still unnerved by the Chile incident. I know he's going to Europe sometime fairly soon, maybe after first of the year.

probably the box for the chess set sitting on the table.
looks like a cool set too.
Many thanks for making the time and effort to post these wonderful pictures of our President and First Lady and, of course, Barney too.
You, and all those who labor over the Dose to keep us up-to-date on who, what, when and where our President is up to will be at the top of my Thanksgiving list.
Happy Thanksgiving ~~ May you have a peaceful and blessed day.
We'll see on Monday if he really did what he SAYS he's going to do. :o)
Thanks for the dose GretchenM.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE
It's really a shame, because if they really knew who he was, they'd love him just like we do......
You know, it could be the chess set box - which wouldn't normally be out and about for an official visit, but maybe it was going home as a gift to the Bush's.
Marie Callender and I team up on the punkin pie business. I never could stand 'em (allergic), so I buy hers to bake.
