In his weekly radio address President Bush said, "So my Administration will work hard to ensure that the next President and his team can hit the ground running. For more than a year now, the White House and agencies throughout the Federal government have been preparing for a smooth transition. We've provided intelligence briefings to the President-Elect, and the Department of Justice has approved security clearances for members of his transition staff. In the coming weeks, we will ask Administration officials to brief the Obama team on major ongoing policy issues, ranging from the financial markets to the war in Iraq. I will keep the President-Elect fully informed on important decisions during this critical time for our Nation. Taken together, these measures represent an unprecedented effort to ensure continuity throughout the executive branch.".
WooHoo! Our Laura got the very first 'First Lady' rose! The coloration sounds beautiful. I hope it has a nice fragrance, too. When we get moved to MS, I'd like to start a rose garden, and the Laura Bush rose will be the first one I plant! Hmmm. My b-i-l, the priest, has a lovely rose garden; I might buy one for him, so he can get it planted for next Spring!
May Our Dear Lord provide swift relief from his pain and skilled physicians to heal his afflictions. God be with him and you.

Do your grandkids call you Gigi? I was thinking I'd like for our grandkids to call me that, whenever we have some. ;o) My Mama was called Mimi, and my sister's grandkids call her Nana, so I didn't want to use either of those.
This past Mother's Day, our oldest son and his girlfriend surprised me, and her mother, with a nice lunch at a place on Boston Harbor. I had absolutely NO clue, until we walked into the restaurant, and there were Paul, his girlfriend, and her family. Hubby and our youngest son knew about it, of course, so they could get me over there, and they kept the secret quite nicely. It was a fantastic day!
Good for you! And yes, he’s a very sweet hubby. :-)
