It is amazing! They all looked equally honored to be in the others presence.
She has a sense of humor!!!!!!
She really enjoyed hearing them.
The Queen had an action packed day and flew home tonight. No pics were posted until quite late in the day.
“gotten the Queen of England to come all the way over here and do our landscaping. I’ll bet they didn’t even pay her minimum wage. :-)”
Just doin’ jobs Americans won’t do ;)
Who knew?!?! ;*)
Apparently President Bush will be going to KS in the morning to see the tornado damage, so you daughter/husband will miss him (not that one normally sees the POTUS on a WH tour).
I believe it is the case that when the POTUS is at the WH, the US flag flies over it, and when he’s not there, there’s no flag. Someone more knowledgeable might be able to confirm this?
Call me an old softie, but for some reason this pic made me mist up. How precious and charming. While I'm sure meeting the Queen was nice, I bet this little girl was more excited about wearaing the tiara and probably made her mama crazy over it until the big day!
So W. is the man. He's made the toughest decisions, and he was far and away the best choice for this very hard time. I admire him, and also see his limits. That's life. We don't get perfection in presidents. Lincoln had a squeaky voice. Washington had false teeth. Jefferson kept slaves. Humans are flawed.
It's too bad so many people here on FR and elsewhere on the political Right don't acknowledge this crucial point. They are constantly chasing after a false image -- a myth, really -- of Ronald Reagan, and are constantly disappointed to find that everyone in the present does not measure up to the myth.
LOL! I bet you are right!!!
Hi Wolfstar! Two more until their birthday, right?
Wonderful Dose, Justa!
Thank you!!!
LOL! I meant to type, two more DAYS until their birthday, right?
‘A THEORY OF W’ is really a wonderful essay—thank you for sharing it.
Hi onyx. Yes, two more days. :)
The U.S. flag always flies over the White House, whether or not the President is home. I had the opportunity to go into D.C. today and the Royal Standard was flying at Blair House. Quite a thrill to see it.
The flag tradition you’ve mentioned is true in England. The Royal Standard only flies when the Queen is in residence, whether in Scotland or England, etc.
Snugs might confirm tomorrow, but I studied in London for a semester and am confident about the Royal Standard, especially since it was in D.C. today. ;) I’m not sure what they do w/ the Union Jack in these cases, it’s been awhile!
# 80 to Eleanor/Snugs Dad!
