The President and the First lady spent the weekend in Washington.
On Saturday the President went for a bike ride and encouraged fellow Americans to exercise.
On Sunday he talked about the weekend's devastating storms after attending services at Saint John's Church with the First Lady.
Today he welcomed Queen Elizabeth II to the White House during which they inspected the troops and afterwards the Queen and President Bush went on of her customodary walkabouts and met with local school children and students outside the White House.
This evening the President held a State Dinner at the White House in the Queen's honour. As I am posting there is no photos or guest list on the White House website if this is posted shortly I will will post this on the dose.
Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island
Been thinking of you today and God Bless Lady X’s family must have been hard for them yesterday.
I like the place settings to though I know for some they are too fancy but for such a State ocassion as last night I think they are fitting.
Thank you
Ditto.
Got a link?
I especially loved this thread, snugs. As someone said, a little civility is indeed a welcome respite. Thank you.
Thank you
I googled Iraqi Radio Station and AP had a story among others, but the quote from the man and his picture (he was VERY articulate and well dressed) was not...so I didn’t post it.
isn;t it strange that no matter how old we are, there are times when it is nice to cuddle w/mom? I live /caregive mine & although we have our rough times, we are grateful for each day we still share together.
I have experienced quite a few close deaths the past few weeks. It does give one pause & a reality check opportunity. We intellectually know we are mortal but emotionally we often just dont keep it prominent in our minds.
It is so difficult but I try to use the old cloche for my grounding..
Do not curse God or grieve because it has ended/over.... Thank & praise him that it happened.
We are grateful for the life of Katt & the lives she touched so warmly in her sojourn.
I hope your night is gentle & you get some comfort from good memories along the way.
