As we enter April 2009 we are being bombarded by the media hyping up the first 100 days of President Obama I thought it would be nice to look back at the first 100 days of George W Bush Presidency.
The White House Website for the Bush Administration had a photo essay for the first 100 days which I am sure will provoke fond memories.
At the weekend I will post photos covering the first 2 weeks of April 2001 which once again I am sure will make us all feel nostalgic for the President we supported, respected and trusted to keep us safe for the last 8 years. Later this month I will post photos from the second half of Aril 2001 plus a selection of other photos that I am sure will be breath of fresh air and produce fond memories.
First of all before the photos I will post the text of remarks that George W Bush made at a Congressional Luncheon marking the first 100 days of the Bush Adminstration - ah those were the days.
I will also post some photos I have found of the Bush family for March 2009 including some of the former First Lady.
Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island
Awww soooo precious the news re: cooking Your Dad a CHRISTmas feast since He missed out, due to surgery/ hospital timeHU!!<3 <3!!GS
Howdy and how are you?
Here he is enjoying the meal.
The goose and yorkshire pudding
Thank and I hope you had blessed Easter too, dad said he really enjoyed Easter especially the roast goose.
Indeed those were the days, I will posting 2005 - 2008 photos in a few minutes for us all to enjoy again.
Dad and I had a lovely “Christmas” dinner
Yes it is good news that dad seems to be recovering from the infection though the very strong antibiotics are making him sleepy.
Yes I remember you said you were caring for your mom I am pleased she was able to do the veg for Easter, and yes I do understand when she has a good day so do you.
Dad has really enjoyed the food this Easter especially the roast potatoes and parsnips which I cooked for me thinking he would not be able to eat them without teeth as his do not fit after the op (something we need to sort shortly though we will probably have to go private as it does not seem that there is a domocile NHS dentist, so instead of paying about 300 pounds we will have to pay about 950 pounds). Anyway to cut a long story short he managed to eat the roast veg and today I cooked some especially for him as well.
When I read it I just knew it was something that we all needed to see a real Christian Easter message from a real Christian President.
God bless this great man and we all trust that others realise what a good, kind, strong, wise President he was.
It just seemed so you :o)
He was really touched about my idea of Christmas dinner at Easter
I am find Kate how are you ?
