Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island
There you are :)
Yes indeed if you look at Wolfstar's dose last night you will see there was quite a discussion about that.
Lovely pictures tonight. I love ballet!
I am indeed sorry it was late - life just took over, thanks for your recipes they sound great.
LOL! I guess you know where I wasn't last night! :)
We didn't either :( It rained all day long. The parking lots turned into little rivers.
Oh, and I love the third photo - surrounded by the children.
Oh, oh, but that fourth shot - LOL! Gotta love our playful President!
Thanks snugs! I love seeing the Christmas festivities at the White House!
I watched the rain turn thick! Exciting day, huh? I'm sorry you were not able to see the President. ;*(
That was lovely snugs. Anyone catch Robert Redford actually applauding the President?
It just started snowing here (RI) a short time ago. My kids are hoping school will be cancelled tomorrow. :)
Warning.....ballet photos! ;*)
I'm sorry I couldn't see him too :( Someday I'll meet him though and hopefully I won't forget to breathe!
Except for the posed picture in front of the Christmas tree, Robert Redford has an unhappy expression on his face in every shot.
He doesn't look like he's even saying the Pledge of Allegiance but I believe Tina is.
Lol I remember doing that. Me and my brothers used to sit around the TV for a long time, just waiting to see if our school's name would go across the bottom of the screen.
He's just feeling sorry for himself, since Clinton is no longer in office.
Thanks for the Dose tonight. Looks like Redford wasn't too happy to be there last night but he still did show up for his award! While everybody else is singing the National Anthem, it looks like he is not.
Maybe. I bet the pres would be a little concerned if I passed out in front of him :)
