This is a catch-up Dose. Captions will provide the summary of events. Photos will be in no particular order other than as they appear on Yahoo News.
Welcome! Hope to see you here often. Warning: the dose is very addictive. But also very fun and informative.
Yes, I would, and to the Dose, too, if possible! Thank you all so much for your hospitality!
LOL, you have been here a long time. That cute little gif -I tried it a few weeks ago, and it didn't work. I'm computer challenged, so I don't know why. (sigh....)
Someone had a question about General Galen Jackson. I read on FR he is a grad of Univ of Nebraska, ROTC; is the commander of the Military District of Washington. He was so wonderful to Nancy; what an impressive man.
North Africa--cool! I've always wanted to go there on a safari. A safari in an air conditioned jeep, where they set up your tents and cook your food every night . . . but a safari nevertheless!
What do you remember about it?
Very interesting, Seven. Maggie was determined to be ready and appropriately dressed. What a good friend she was to Ronald Reagan!
I agree. Black is traditional mourning but there's nothing wrong with looking past the mourning period to the reunion and resurrection.
I like the freedom from obligatory black that we are experiencing now in the E.C. (and of course the senior Bush's are E.C.)
Welcome, you're gonna love it here.
Thank you for the welcome, Truthy; I'll ask Gretchen if I can be added to the ping list! :)
Pattie wrote a really touching piece..I think for Time, but not sure...about how she felt left out for a while and so on.
I thought Ron did a credible job at the funeral with his talk. Frankly I was surprised. I agreed with some who felt that his remarks about his father's faith were intended as a dig at Dubya, but maybe I am paranoid.
Wait--I know I'm paranoid. My antenna are totally out for any slam against my Prez.
Morocco..=..Arabs..=..hellhole....no safaris...never have understood why Morocco was a tourist attraction!!
Yeah well she probably borrow that from Royal Family that only time they wear black only at funeral it was Queen Mary that start the tradion after burying her husband King george V and two of her sons
Gretchen, may I please be added to the Dose ping list? Thank you SO much! :)
I will go back and read later.
One person I did miss through this week of tributes was Charlton Heston.

If I am the halfway point for everyone, then you are most welcome here.
It would give me a reason to clean my house, after all! HA!
I think I read on one of the threads that he was at one of the services ... probably the one in California Friday night.
I'm glad he is still well enough to have made it.
Gretchen, thank you SO MUCH for the work you did to post all the pictures of the farewell to dear President Reagan and for the wonderful pics of our great President and his Dad. Hope you, and all the other wonderful people who post Dose pics, know how much you are appreciated!
