President Bush unwrapped Father's Days gifts Sunday at his Texas ranch
where the skies let go a deluge of rain that turned roadside gullies into
muddy ponds.
From first lady Laura Bush, the president received several ties she
purchased during their recent trip to Europe, White House spokesman Scott
Stanzel said. Bush's twin daughters, gave him a CD they had made for him
to listen to while exercising.
Bush spent the day with Mrs. Bush and their daughter, Jenna. Their
other daughter, Barbara, was not at the ranch over the weekend. The
president also spoke to his father, former President George H.W. Bush,
over the phone.
In between showers on Saturday, Bush squeezed in a bike ride at his
ranch. But Sunday brought a downpour so heavy that high water covered the
road leading into Crawford. The local fire department blocked the road
with fire trucks and turned
back motorists.
Bush flew back to Washington aboard Air Force One later in the day.
On Monday, Bush is scheduled to attend a Republican National Committee
luncheon in Washington, sign a bill and meet with NCAA championship teams
on the South Lawn. On Tuesday, he meets with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud
Olmert.
