Sheep on the White House Lawn. Now all we have are wolves in sheep's clothing!
This is a very educational collection. I hope you are planning to compile them for the grandkids. :)
Staggering taht he was that old before he learnt to read! Inspiring.
I'll never see his pic on that 100,000 note! Cheers, Faye :)
Faye, this one is really good. I'm learning so much. Kidney failure or Brights desease, killed both first wife's of Roosevelt and Wilson in the White House. They both re-married a second wife, both named Edith.
His first wife, Ellen Axon Wilson, is buried at Myrtle Hill Cemetery in Rome, GA.
The story of how they met is quite cute.
I enjoyed your poem! You always do such a good job.
This one's good. He overcame a lot of adversities!
