Since Jackeens is on vacation, I thought I'd post a photo thread to help pick us all up from the stress before the weekend.

9. Very refreshing!

Just what I needed, too..it's inspiring to go back and look at these pics more than once so that the history will get imbedded in my brain.

12. kick. just beautiful!

Honestly, I can't get enough of pix of him overseas. Imagine - all those people so sincerely happy to see a US President. Imagine - our President equally happy to meet them. Sincere respect, heartfelt interest in history and culture, doesn't want to isolate himself from the people.

I've missed that so much. :cry:
