The President and his family are at Camp David where they will celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday.

The President called members of the Armed Forces stationed in remote locations worldwide to wish them a happy Thanksgiving and thank them for their service to our nation

President Bush on Thursday applauded Iraq's parliamentary vote approving an agreement allowing U.S. troops to remain for three more years, saying it "affirms the growth" of democracy there. LINK

President George W. Bush called Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Thursday to convey his sympathy for the victims of the "despicable" attacks in Mumbai and offer US help. LINK

Former first lady Barbara Bush was doing well Wednesday following her surgery late Tuesday night to repair and seal a perforated ulcer, according to the surgeon who performed the operation. "She is up in a chair. She's very vigorous. She is in charge," said Dr. Patrick Reardon. "The first thing she did when her lips worked was to tell a joke." LINK

Don’t even worry about the Dose, except to update as you have time....prayers continue for you

[daisyscarlett]

I shudder to think about Christmas in the WH next year...so I will just enjoy every day of the festivities this year, via the Dose.

Hi Luv, Laura says she is referring to her time after she leaves the WH as her afterlife and that they will be spending the week in Dallas and weekends in Crawford. I also heard they are buying a tear down house and will rebuild.

I am wondering if the future First Lady will cut her Thanksgiving weekend short to receive the Christmas tree on Sunday next year?

hi

[daisyscarlett]

Where I live (central Florida), it's pretty much drive through surgery.

Well maybe they are being extra cautious because of her age and who she is?

[daisyscarlett]

Some folks think Brokaw was unduly harsh to her on the subject, but through it all: she was Laura, focused, gracious, knowledgeable, and forthright.

Thanks for posting the link to MTP. I am sorry Brokaw was harsh, but not surprised.

[mrs tiggywinkle]

First Lady Laura Bush is the epitomy of grace.

[daisyscarlett]

Hi Majie, Yeah the WH menu sounds lovely. Three desserts plus fruit. Now who would opt for fruit with those luscious sounding desserts, lol.

[Majie Purple]

Cool! The 2008 CHRISTmas treee is from NC!

[daisyscarlett]

First Lady Laura Bush is the epitomy of grace.

I agree and she will be a very tough act to follow.

[mrs tiggywinkle]

True, unless the Obama’s hand over the Christmas tree arrival to Mrs. Biden. The Obama’s don’t celebrate Christmas...or birthdays. Hm.

[mrs tiggywinkle]

It has been a lovely 8 years with President Bush and the First Lady in our White House. Grace and beauty filled the halls, especially at this precious time of year.

[Majie Purple]

Such great pics of F L Laura this Dose!
Saved a few.

[mrs tiggywinkle]

I believe it’s safe to say that the future first lady will not be able to attain of whisper of Laura’s class, etc. And any further on that subject, I’ll be quiet. :o)

[Majie Purple]

LOL!
I hear Ya about Desserts vs fruit, no contest!
:)

daisyscarlett: THANK YOU for posting today’s DOSE update — I can’t wait to watch the videoclip from MTP (even though I find Brokaw, et al, disgustingly biased in their approach to anything Bush-related).
