I was surprised at how much prettier the card is in one's hands than online. So much more detail shows.

Thank you

[GretchenM]

Hi snugs,
I will pray for you and your dad, and the medical staff.

[GretchenM]

Y'all are very welcome for the pictures.

Please feel free to post others you may find.

I saw that on the whitehouse website I suppose that means we are only going to get one picture a week instead of one a day.

[EmilyGeiger]

Thanks for the ping and the thread. Hello all.

[lysie]

Wonderful pictures. Thank you, Gretchen.

The cadet seems to be relying on all his training to stay in serious smile suppression mode.

What an honor to be asked to escort W onto the field.

Thank you for the great pictures! I knew the ones with the children would be precious.

And Hollywood starlets could take a lesson from Dr. Rice on how to look glamorous.

Received my RNC calendar today. Wow there are some fantabulous pics of the president in it! :-)

[snugs]

Thanks as always for your prayers. I must go to bed now would love to stay and chat but must not as I have to up an hour earlier tomorrow.

God Bless the President and special prayers for Dick and Lynne Cheney on their trip to Afganistan.

God Bless you all.

Love
Eleanor

"Received my RNC calendar ... "

I was going to go online today and request one -- if you gave during 2004, do you automatically get an '05 calendar? Or should I send more $$ and request one specifically?

[snugs]

Hello and good night Emily long time no speak

[GretchenM]

Does not the Vice Admiral look as if he should be aboard ship, bracing for a nor'easter, mates?

Be still my heart! Those Naval uniforms ...

[EmilyGeiger]

I know. The last month has been hectic and this one will be as well. I hope you are doing well. Good night.
