July 2009 sees nearly 6 months since George W Bush entered private life and as we have done in previously monthly threads I have collated photos from the month we are in from previous years.
Tonight I will post July 2001 and July 2002 photos and then over the next few days post 2003 and 2004 photos.
I have also found some photos from this June which I will also post in the next few days starting with one of them as the photo of the month.
Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island
Oh my, I had forgotten it is President Bush’s birthday today
Thank you for this beautiful Happy Birthday pic for our dear W!
Last week I received a post card style note from the Office of George W. Bush. Whoo Hoo!! I believe it’s in response to the letter I sent immediately prior to his leaving Office. The post card said... during his years in the White House, he and Laura saw the strength of the American people. Also that they were sustained by our prayers and encouragement and he was thankful for the support and trust. It was a wonderful surprise!!
I had too forgotten.
Sorry I dissapeared after posing photos from 18th June 2009 but both me and dad have had a dreadful cold in fact I was off sick from work from Wednesday and only went back today.
I will be back shortly with photos from 2003 and then hopefully post 2004 ones either tomorrow or Wednesday.
I will also catch up on my pings
