I think it is cute because it is not over the top expensive gifts but gifts we can all relate to.

Bush reads up on Teddy Roosevelt, US troops

Reuters/ABC News | 12/27/05 | Rueters staff
Bush reads up on Teddy Roosevelt, US troops Reuters CRAWFORD, Texas - President George W. Bush is spending part of his Christmas holiday reading about the post-presidential years of Theodore Roosevelt and the lives of U.S. troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. Bush was reading

"When Trumpets Call: Theodore Roosevelt After the White House," by Patricia O'Toole,

and

"Imperial Grunts: The American Military on the Ground," by Robert Kaplan

while on holiday at his Texas ranch, said White House spokesman Trent Duffy. The book about Teddy Roosevelt is about the former president's African safari and his attempt to re-enter politics...

in a way with mum it has helped that she was not really my mum for such a long time that I had gradually come to terms with loosing her and although upsetting that she is no longer physically there her suffering is over

I know exactly what you mean. I went through the same thing with my father. He had a series of small strokes, and with each one, he was more debilitated. By the time he died, I had had a long time to mourn losing my father.
A lot of my tears were about the life he had to endure at the end. It wasn't what he was.

But he's with God now - as your mum is. That's a better place for them, even if we feel desolate and deprived sometimes.

My mother's dementia had really increased the last few months and she did not really recognize me. I know she is in a better place and is singing in heaven now. I would have ups and downs.

I had to give away all her things and sell the house as her executor. I could not drive by the house on the drive to my daughter's after it sold.

My daughter had theorized we could just keep it and meet there for family visits! Oh my! Letting go was hard for the grandchildren as they had spent many happy hours there.

I had been with her every weekend until she fell and finally had to go to a nursing home. I had watched and suffered over the decline that they had not witnessed week after week. I now can recall the lively, interested, youngest 90 year old one could imagine instead of how she was the last 2 years..
Dealing with dementia does take a toll. Take care of yourselves.

Headline on Fox: "Specter wants spy hearings" Go figure. The President's trying to win the war on terror and the wusses in Congress want to investigate him.

Were you in the rap-the-knuckles-with-a-ruler generation?

You gotta understand that grandma was born in 1909 and her dad was bornin the 1860s in Poland.

The archaic school of thought was not a good thing.

I attended a Catholic school for the first 2 1/2 years of high school and (although I became a good grades freak to the point of making myself sick - literally) they were the best years of my entire schooling as required by law. (College was better, of course, but I probably never would have gone if I hadn't learned what a brainiac I was at the Catholic school.)

I just have a number of issues that I need therapy for...due to ramdom acts of Catholicism. Just pick all of the most important things about the facts of life and Catholic teaching and such and skip a few definitions and miss a few important years so that you have about 23 pieces of the 100 piece puzzle and see how that can mess up your life...

IMHO it is all or nothing or consistency or something...not on again, off again.

IN retrospect, I do see where my brother was a chip off the ol' block...

Not really...except the only cute thing I've seen is Laura's hand is on his lap.

I went to the Carter Center today to see a First Ladies exhibit. I hate going there but sometimes there's a good exhibit I'd like to see. Anyway, Laura's white inaugural outfit was on display, the one in post #13. A beautiful, soft white Oscar de la Renta dress with lovely detail.

Guess what Hillary's outfit was--Ol' Crusty!. I couldn't believe it. All the other First Ladies' dresses on display were gowns or special dresses. But not Hillary. She had to donate Ol' Crusty to the Smithsonian. And it looked well used too. The display said she went through 5 black pantsuits campaigning, but I think she's gone through a lot more than that.
