Bush pays brief call on Colombia
Updated 41 mins. ago

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — President Bush renewed U.S. support to Colombia, a strong but drug and violence-plagued U.S. ally which receives more U.S. aid than any country outside the Middle East and Afghanistan. Bush arrived in the nation's capital on Sunday to meet with President Alvaro Uribe in a show of confidence for Uribe and Colombia's battle against narcoterrorists. But the stop was clouded by a political scandal involving Uribe, and security jitters had Bush staying only about six hours.

Colombia was the third country on the president's five-nation tour of Latin America. He began his journey in Brazil, flew here from Uruguay and was headed later Sunday to Guatemala. Bush last stops in Mexico before returning to Washington Wednesday.

It was Bogota's first visit from a sitting president since Ronald Reagan in 1982. Some 20,000 police and heavily armed troops will virtually shut off downtown Bogota to guard against a possible rebel attack.

PRESIDENTIAL SCHEDULE:

— Mar. 14, President and Mrs. Bush arrive back in Washington from their trip to South America and Mexico.

— Mar. 15, House GOP Leader John Boehner (R-OH) chairs the NRCC March Dinner at the Washington Hilton Hotel, headlined by President Bush.

— Mar. 16, Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern will meet in the White House with President Bush to discuss bilateral issues and Northern Ireland, and to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with their annual "Shamrock Ceremony."

Um...no.

Finger paints are not allowed in my house. I won't even buy play-doh for the itty bitty one. I have had to scrape too much of that stuff out of my carpet. I figure messy projects are for MOMMIES to help with...LOL

I buy the girls stickers..and they make sticker pictures. I also buy coloring books, because I like to color in coloring books...(it is the kid in me).

I see it's supposed to be 75 degrees for you tomorrow with an afternoon t-storm.

Oh my goodness --- txsleuth is sending me a t-storm from TX! I'll wager my little town will get only a couple of raindrops if anything at all. Seems to blow right over the river and either turn north or continue eastward.

It's messy and hard to clean up --- I hate play-doh but he always buys it for the kids and in all the colors too --- even the neon colors.
