We hit 100 percent on the FReepathon while the Dose was going up!
Yes! Every one of you Dose Posters rock majorly! Thank you sincerely for all that you do!
"I want to recognize and thank the crew that has brought us "A Day in the Life of President Bush" since its inception in January 2001."
I second that motion wholeheartedly.
Our power was out most of the day again. Just got it back about an hour ago. I'm just waiting for it to flip off again. So if I disappear again you'll know what happened!
We've bought a few more supplies and a propane camping stove. Here's hoping we don't have to use it.
I got to work this morning and got the worse case of shakes I've ever had. Worked through it but I can tell this has really stressed me.
Why thank you, Ma'am!!
I humbly accept my (very small) portion of the fireworks ;)
Thank you for the Friday Dose, Gretchen.
Pippin did a few
I was anxious to get home tonight to tell you all about our wonderful President and how he feels about our troops and vice versa. I was hoping there would be pics of the President's very important guests today, but not surprised there was none. I may be getting some soon to share with you. ;*)
Today was "Tour the White House" day for our wounded heroes at Walter Reed. To state our troops and their families were excited would be a gross understatement.
When they arrived they learned President Bush had ordered the barriers and ropes be removed. As they wandered freely throughout the White House, President Bush emerged from the Oval office to visit with them. Seeing some ropes still up, he told the secret service agents to remove them. One lady said they were not happy about it and said, "But Mr. President..." President Bush firmly instructed all barriers removed so our troops could move around freely.
The President then spent several minutes chatting with EACH ONE of them. He spotted one soldier he had visited when he was still in the hospital and said, "Hey Tony! I see you have your new leg!" Tony and his fiance could not believe that the President of the United States would not only remember his face and name, but that he was missing a leg the last time he saw him.
Of course there were hugs and kisses for the ladies, much to their approval! One lady in a wheel chair allowed me to touch the top of her head where he had kissed her. ;*)
Offering words of encouragement and gratitude for their service, the Commander-in-Chief was a giant among men in the eyes of his troops.
