Thank you, all, very much for your happy birthday wishes!

I had a very nice, quiet, fun celebration with my son and his sweet girfriend, and my best friend, Mike. After opening gifts we went out to eat and then watched one of my presents, Men of Honor, at home. I got pampered and waited on and treated deferentially, as it should be! I even ate a Pepperidge Farm mint cookie. =)

It was awfully thoughtful of President Bush to host a press conference on my Sunday birthday, no?

hoosiermama and Ms.Behavin, so sad to read about the dog situations, recent and not so recent, but nevertheless painful. May the Lord's precious comfort fill you all.

Traveled to Little Rock today, for the express purpose of seeing our President. Despite a slight ticket mishap, was able to get in, and enjoyed a terrific speech about getting our country into a more robust economy. He needs our help with Congress to get his economic package passed. Wonderful applause, and he looked great. More details are planned for the next (today's) daily dose.
