They're so tall - so grown up! Yikes! Where'd the time go? Long-stemmed American Beauties!

I'm glad he gets a vacation! Criminy! If ANYONE deserves some R&R, that poor soul does. I don't think there's ever been a president this picked-on - at least within my memory. Even more than President Clinton and the bastards never let up on him, either.

Don't the trogs realize they actually strengthen the support President Obama relies upon from the rest of us?

I wonder if I can find them in the Bay Area, they have to be around some place. I would love to try this. One of my favorite flavor bubble tea is Taro. Sweet Potato I like. Sounds yummy!

KAILUA, Hawaii — President Obama confessed in his year-end news conference that he was “eager to skip town.” He did just that this weekend, jetting to his birthplace of Hawaii for his annual surfside respite, recharging before plunging into what he hopes will be a more productive 2014.

The president, smiling and visibly relaxed, stepped off Air Force One and onto a warm and breezy Hono­lulu tarmac shortly before midnight Friday. He was accompanied by his wife, Michelle, their two daughters, Malia and Sasha, his mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, and the family’s Portuguese water dogs, Bo and Sunny

Wait until they return, she.. they will look so rested! Our Prez and his fam!

Mahalo for the thread, she~
