Welcome to Sanity Island, where only adults are allowed.

President Bush Welcomed Prime Minister Clark of New Zealand to the White House and met with her in the Oval Office. The text of their remarks can be found HERE.

Today is the "traditional" FIRST DAY of SRING. In celebration of Spring, two photos from 2006.

Pink Laura Bush tulips bloom in the East Garden. The tulip was named in the First Lady’s honor April 22, 2004.

Miss Beazley and Barney tip toe through the tulips in the East Garden of the White House.

PRESS BRIEFING BY TONY SNOW TODAY. IT'S A MUST READ. Tony is a saint and a very smart one too.

I'll catch up with y'all by the time Greta starts. :0)

Last night I slept through Greta and missed the show. I never used to watch her, but now she's a favorite:)

In her (ahem) later years, Tallulah would lie on the floor to be photographed as it gave the camera a more flattering angle. (I read that somewhere -- don't know if it's true or not, but I think I'll lie on the floor and get the DP to take a picture.

It can't hurt.

I like her show best regarding ANS coverage. I haven't seen Mr. Hogan on any of the other shows. :)

That is very interesting. Not one pantsuit???

I often contemplate wearing a dress or skirt to church, but then I think about shoes.

With pants, one can wear nice comfortable shoes and no one notices. Alas, this is not true with skirts and my feet are way spoiled because they live in running shoes.

[onyx]

Not a one. I think looking at Hillary soured me on them. Seriously.

I already have my "Easter Dress"

I wear it every year.

It always reminds me of my Aunty, who would say, "what shall I wear? My new, or my blue, or the one I wore last?"

(she was referring to her one blue dress...this was back in the day)

[altura]

Well, thank God. I was picturing you vacuuming in your pearls like June Cleaver.

[Jewels1091]

Well with my job, we are working frieght alot, going up and down ladders for the displays, lifting, bending over alot, so it only makes sense to wear longer skirts when I wear them.

[snugs]

That fine I will then post others as and when they come up please freep me when you have put the thread up about what time do you reckon that will be?

[onyx]

ROTFLOL! I don't vacuum!

I wear jeans and I have several jackets --- dress jackets and casual --- that I wear with my jeans.

[BigSkyFreeper]

For crying out loud --- you are sooooooooooo late. LOL

LOL :)

Well, the folks are home and O'Reilly  is sad to see Toby go.  I told O'Reilly that Toby would be back again when dad comes over for coffee.

Dad came over and got Toby's food and his food dish, and I told dad that Toby and O'Reilly had lots of fun.  Dad knew Toby and O'Reilly would get along well and wouldn't be much trouble.  Toby and O'Reilly are like buddies.

I often have to wear safety boots at work because otherwise I cannot wander freely in the factory and have to keep to the walkways.

I therefore walk into work in Caterpillar type boots (cheaper copy) and then change into court shoes (pumps) and then back to the boots either for visiting the factory or walking back home.

[onyx]

I think it'll be A-OK for you to come here at your usual time. I'll post the Dose right after I see the last of the yahoo photos, but I won't wait for the WH photos, so that makes my posting time somewhere between 3:00 - 4:00 PM Central Daylight Savings time.

"IF" I'm organized and packed, I'll check back around 5:30 my time (CDS) to post WH photos, but if I can't check back, I will be happy in the knowledge that you will post them when you arrive.

I'll notify the Dosers of what's going on when I ping them.

THANK YOU, dearest snugs!!

[snugs]

Are you not afraid of tripping on a ladder with a long skirt I think I would be banned from going up a ladder at work with a long skirt.

[onyx]

Oh I see: you've been in mourning. It was nice for you and your spoiled cat to have company. :0)

[BigSkyFreeper]

O'Reilly is in mourning, not me. LOL

I'm playing the part of the compassionate father telling his son that "everything will be alright". LOL

[snugs]

I don't vacuum either LOL

[Txsleuth]

When I was growing up...we had to wear dresses to school..no pants, shorts, jeans.

Soooooo..when I grew up...I decided no more dresses unless necessary.

I DO have one black dress for funerals...

[snugs]

No problem have fun

[onyx]

LOL -- GOOD! I don't really do any chores. Yes, I am lazy and spoiled. :0)
