President George W. Bush welcomed Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki at an official state welcoming ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington today. He hosted a state dinner for Kibaki later in the day, the first such dinner for an African head of State since President Bush took power.

8 months tomorrow since he was activated......more than 6 months in theatre.

The problem is that there's no sign of his coming home yet. If we just had that to hang on, we'd all feel much better.

I can't even bear to think what Christmas will be like for our family without him. I'm pleading with the Lord to let him come home by then. PLEADING!

I don't like that necklace with that dress. Ditch the bow, and substitute a gold choker for the white necklace, and it would be great.
But she looks fabulous anyway, and the pix of her with her husband are always winners. :-)

[prairiebreeze]

Nice pix, thanks. I will say though, that the bow on Laura's dress doesn't add anything to it. The dress would be stunning without the bow. IMHO

Good to see you back again ODC! Don't stay away so long again, OK? :o)

I'm heading to bed now.....Good night, all! Visions of a beautiful First Couple dancing in my head!

[ohioWfan]

Good. I think an asylum may be his next residence...... the old boy's obviously gone 'round the bend!

[MJY1288]

You're never a downer, on the contrary, you're an inspiration

Yup..... Him and his silly Diary are off to "Chestnut Lodge"

[Miss Marple]

Well, I hate sounding like a nitpicker, but I do think the dress would look better. Oh well.

Juan Williams will be impossible to live with after getting that invitation.

[MJY1288]

I believe Juan has been to more than one, I'll check

G'nite Ohio! Sleep tight! Keeping Eric in my prayers.

Prairie

[ohioWfan]

A SAD inspiration, Mike!

Talked to Eric yesterday. He still sounds like the same sweet guy who left us in February, talking about his dangerous adventures, his Bible study, his song-writing. Thank You, Lord! Please bring him home soon! We need him here, too!

G'nite, Mike......and thanks, dear friend!

[homemom]

What a wonderful range of expressions on our President's face in these pictures. He looks pretty intense and serious in some of them, like there's a LOT going on in his huge job. Pray for God to give him strength and wisdom and guidance to do what is right no matter what the polls or the politicians say.
