If the President attended Easter services this morning in Texas, I think something is out of whack with these photos.
It’s certainly unseasonably chilly here in Texas, but we do not have snow on the ground. Did see a few flakes here in North Texas yesterday, but nothing even remotely like what’s in the pictures.
Thank you, thank you, Wolfstar. This very special Dose is going to get BOOKMARKED right now.
You did so much work -— a labor of love, but just WOW!!!
THANK YOU for posting the EASTER DOSE . . . I always enjoy photos of the President interacting with his dad and mom!
Do you have any information on the President’s schedule for next week?

‘MUST READ’OF THE WEEK . . . [Wolfstar could you please post the photo of President Bush ‘helping’ Senator Byrd]
THE PRESIDENT OF ALL THE PEOPLE
By The Anchoress
“That picture of Bush with Byrd reminds me that he is - in his own mind, if not in yours - THE PRESIDENT OF ALL THE PEOPLE, DETERMINED TO SERVE YOUR SAFETY, YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE, YOUR ECONOMY AND YOUR FUTURE, EVEN IF YOU WOULD RATHER HE DID NOT. EVEN IF YOU WISH HE WERE DEAD. Even if you call him names. Even if you try to destroy his presidency and take him down. Even if you do all that from his own party and not from the “opposition” side.
This president will not return in kind. He hasn’t in six years, no matter how rude others have been.
. . . President Bush drives us crazy. We want him to fight back. He won’t. We want him to “save” himself. He won’t. He won’t “save” his presidency, either. He won’t “save” his party. He won’t “save” his legacy.
President Bush is doing what is unthinkable - he is staying true to the task laid out before him, to serve all the people. He is remaining faithful to that and he is counting on his God to do the rest, as his God has promised.
This is remarkable witness.
In an era when every special-interest group demands satisfaction for real or imagined “slights,” when Christians try to insist upon respectfulness from the arts, and radical Islamists demand blood or force conversions for any perceived “insult,” THIS CHRISTIAN MAN STANDS BEFORE THE WORLD AND INSISTS ONLY THAT THE COURSE OF LIBERTY BE PURSUED AND THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO PROTECT THE SAFETY, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OF HIS CITIZENS. He does not insist that you treat him well. Quite the opposite. He looks at something you can’t see and he allows you to say anything about him you want to, and he holds fast to a promise.
. . . In the face of that upside-down disorientation that says “good” is “bad” and “truthiness” is enough, President Bush gets up every day and keeps going, and remains steadfast, and lets you hate him all you want. And if you stumble in his line of vision he will not step around you. And if you’re old and feeble, he will help you walk.
Yes, this is remarkable witness. How many of us would be capable of doing the same?”

I hope everyone enjoyed a blessed Easter!
BTW: The Easter egg photos are absolutely STUNNING . . . THANK YOU!
It did snow in west-central Texas where the President's ranch is located, and obviously the snow made it over Ft. Hood as well.

Hi onxy. Glad you enjoyed this 2007 Easter edition of the Dose.
PING...we are over here!
No Deb, sorry. There wasn't much news available. I do know he's going to Arizona, tomorrow I think, to make a speech before heading back to DC.
Here's the photo of GWB helping Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WVA) who is nearly 90.
You're most welcome, Deb. :)
My daughter lives in Midlothian, Texas and they had over 3 hours of snow yesterday...it is that snowy in Crawford.
They really had a lot in Fort Hood...WOW.
It’s a TREASURE and I love to see photos of 41 and Mrs. 41.
Thank you for the link to the state eggs and for the Dose today.
Wonder where the twins were - haven’t seen them in so long.

Yes, and I also enjoyed the rare glimpse at their current spaniel, Sadie.
Here is a picture of green leafy trees and snow shot in a residential area today in Ft. Hood.
