For our business, Character Writing Worksheets, I put in l-o-n-g hours last week....48hrs 28min to be exact. Mostly working on the 44 Presidents Workbooks. As I worked on those my knowledge about our Presidents increased immensely and I found out lots of fun facts! Since I haven't posted anything in a while, I thought I'd share my favorites :)
--During most of Andrew Johnson's life he made his own clothes, and while governor of Tennessee he complimented the governor of Kentucky by making a suit for him.
--Quote by Abraham Lincoln: "Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right."
--As president, Ulysses Grant received a speeding ticket by a police officer who failed to recognize him. He was fined for driving his horse too fast through the streets of D.C.
(The last one is my absolute favorite :-))
How cool, Holly! Great quotes and story! :)
ReplyDeleteHow neat! Did you know: Herbert Clark Hoover (1874-1964) gave his White House servants strict orders to hide from him whenever he passed by. Those who failed to do so were at risk of being fired. :)
