QUOTE OF THE DAY: "THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all for coming. I'll answer a couple of questions in a second. I do want to say how pleased I am to be here in Argentina, advancing an agenda that is based upon my belief and our country's belief that there are certain universal values. One of those values is that free societies are important to the progress of men and women; but free societies also require institutions that are solid and sound, institutions such as the right to worship freely, the right to write, say what you want in the press freely, the right to campaign and express your opinions freely. It's very important that there be solid rule of law and independent judiciary.
And so I'm pleased to be down here. It's a good place to spend Laura's birthday, which is today. I don't know if you knew that -- no, I know you did, okay -- but anyway, don't bring it up when you see her."
ENJOY YOUR VISIT TO SANITY ISLAND!

Whoa, early! But apparently, not early enough. : )
Good evening, Mike. Thanks you so much for the Dose. I find myself saying a prayer often during the day for the safety of our President and First Lady.
Top ten?
Happy Birthday to our beautiful, loving, kind First Lady of the United States....Laura Welch Bush! God bless and keep her and may she have many, many, many more happy birthday celebrations with her wonderful family. She is a bright and shining star representing our country. Go Laura!!!
I thought the picture of GWB with the other leaders at the summit was interesting. I think that GWB is of average height (how tall is he--anyone know?), but he looks quite tall in the picture with the men from the summit! He looks terrific in the photos today!
Thanks again!
Here are a few of my favorites of Laura.....
The 'Meg Ryan' look.....
Classic beauty.....
Style.......
Compassion......
Humor.....
Inner beauty.....
A Texas woman......
And just WOW!
And I love THIS one, not because it's a great shot, but because I TOOK it on the day she signed my sketch and we talked a bit.....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAURA!!!!
Double duty Prayers up for the President and First Lady while in Argentina.
Thanks for the wonderful pictures, Mike. Love that first one....except for "The Nose" in the foreground! LOL! We need it cropped just to show the president!
