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.

上周日，布什總統在德克薩斯農場的家中打開了他收到的父親節禮物。當時那里下著傾盆大雨，路邊的水溝都變成了泥塘。
白宮發言人斯科特·史坦澤說，第一夫人勞拉送給布什的禮物是他們最近出訪歐洲時買的幾條領帶。布什的兩個雙胞胎女兒送的是她們親手錄制的一盤CD，供他在鍛煉的時候聽。
布什與夫人及女兒詹娜一起度過了父親節這一天，另一個女兒芭芭拉上周末不在農場。布什還與他的父親--前總統喬治·H·W·布什--通了電話。
周六，布什趁雨停的間歇在農場騎了會兒自行車。但是周日的雨特別大，雨水淹沒了通往克勞福德鎮的路。當地消防局用消防車把路擋住，讓過往的車輛掉頭返回。
布什當天晚些時候乘坐“空軍一號”返回了華盛頓。
周一，布什將按計劃出席共和黨全國委員會在華盛頓的午宴、簽署一項法案，并將在白宮南草坪接見全美大學生體育協會冠軍球隊。周二，他將會見以色列總理埃胡德·奧爾默特。
