August was always the month, when President Bush went to his ranch in Crawford, but unlike the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, President Bush worked during his vacation, as you can see in the photos
First off, here are various photos of President Bush during his two-week vacation in Kennebunkport. By the way, he's now back home in Texas.
These biking photos were taken between August 13th to August 20th.
The following 5 photos are of Bush visiting the Kennebunkport Bicycling Company on Monday, August 23:
All of these photos are courtesy of Cyndi Smith via Facebook
Three bonus photos of GWB and Laura posing with military families at the Run For The Fallen event in Cape Elizabeth, Maine on Sunday, August 22:
And finally, I found a photo of GWB in a rather "interesting" outfit taken at his Crawford ranch. This was posted on twitter.com/totalfratmove today. Don't know when exactly this pic was taken.
Well, I don’t know about the others, but they sure made me smile! Thanks SO much!
OUR president is just an all-around good guy! Period! What
you see is what you get.
THANK you once again for the smile on my face as I look through these pictures. Between this morning’s fantastic event with Glenn, and the closing of the day with George...life was really good today. Thank you for your contribution, patty!
OhioWfan, thanks for letting us know....
pattyvita, wow.........thank you SO MUCH for all the terrific pics of our dear W and Laura. Yes, these definitely help to cheer us up!
My husband is a serious cyclist and has bugged me to get on a bike.........hmmmm, maybe I should do so ... but will have to ride in Texas..........lol.
Thanks again!
After they left Kennebunkport last Thursday, President and Laura Bush traveled straight to Minnesota to raise money for their future library. This tidbit appeared in a Minneapolis Star-Tribune column:
"A quiet Bush visit"
Not a tweet on Twitter from former First Lady Laura Bush about her trip to Minnesota last week.
Mrs. Bush and former President George W. Bush were at the Twin Cities home of POPPcom telecommunications owner and CEO Bill Popp and his wife, Teri.
W's appearance at Popp's was to raise money for the former prez's presidential library, I'm told. George and Sally Pillsbury were spotted there.
Hey, Mrs. Bush: The reason I follow interesting people on Twitter is so I can track their steps into and out of Minnesota. There were no tweetable moments from your time here?

Well fortunately, I have the pic to prove it! This is courtesy of Joe Meyer via Facebook:
President George H.W. Bush (41) was in for a real treat on Friday when he met Taylor Swift during the taping of her TV special for the CMT network in Kennebunkport, Maine. Taylor Swift happened to film her latest music video there as well.

Laura Bush doing another book signing at Books-A-Million and at Heritage Christian University in Florence, Alabama on Saturday:

And finally, fashionista Barbara Bush poses in a belt and bell-bottoms ensemble in the September issue of V Magazine that will come out this Thursday. This supposed to showcase her and several other young women in the New York society scene about the interests and careers they're pursuing. She is quoted as saying, "One of my Texas friends, her mom literally wears this look every day." Hmmm...looks like Barbara is mimicking her father in ranchwear, don't you think?
Thank you for the pictures. At the same time I get depressed looking at them and the present reality that we are living in now.
Awesome find, Patty! Thanks for sharing with us!
I hope “my peeps” in Minnesota...oh...what a WONDERFUL place to grow up (but too cold to live there anymore!) - such truly nice and decent people. My upbringing was like livin’ on the “Little House on the Prairie” —it was like a TV show about family and goodness. I’m so glad our dear President and his Lovely First Lady were there. God Bless the Bush’s and continued prayers for VP Cheney’s health and his wonderful family too.
THANK YOU for your beautiful prayers and kind words — you have uplifted my soul at a very difficult time!
The following poem was found handwritten in Mom’s bible. I hope it touches you as much as it did my family and me.

WHAT GOD HATH PROMISED
God hath not promised
skies always blue
flower-strewn pathways
all our lives through.
God hath not promised
sun without rain
joy without sorrow
peace without pain.
God hath not promised
we shall not know
fail and temptation
trouble and woe.
He hath not told us
we shall not bear
many a burden
many a care.
But God hath promised
strength for the day
rest for the laborer
light for the way.
Grace for the trails
help from above
unfailing sympathy
undying love.
Wow...what a powerful and beautiful poem your mother wrote. I’m sure she is smiling down at you right now. Thank you very much for sharing that for all of us.
Prayers are with you for the loss of your Mom, something most of us can understand.
The poem you found in her Bible is very poignant and it also speaks of what a gentle and spiritual being she was.
Little treasures like that are so meaningful..
Blessings, etabeta
That is just beautiful, Deb....and I’ll bet your mom understood every word of it!
Dear DrDeb, please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your Mom. I have prayed for you and your family during this very difficult time. I hope you can find some consolation in knowing your dear Mom is with the Lord and at peace.
The poem is very touching and oh, so true.
(( DrDeb )), you are in my heart and my prayers.
So lovely, I put this on my FB page!
