And here is another person my 30 year old friend didn’t know…

So let’s start with this, have you ever watched (or read the book) “The Last of the Mohicans”?

This is one of my top 5 movies EVER! The main character is based loosely on Daniel Boone. Oh, Daniel Day-Lewis be still my heart! “Stay Alive! I Will Find You!”

There is alot of fact and legend surrounding DBs life. You can read more HERE about his very adventurous life.

For me, just reading about him makes me want to learn more about North Carolina, Kentucke (original spelling before it became Kentucky), Virginia, West Virginia and Missouri.

Funny how educating yourself leads to more knowledge.

Who else might you want to know about? Or is there a place you are curious about? Let me know in the comments and I’ll see about it.

What prompted this topic was a discussion with a 30 year old…

Not only did they not know a pickle was a cucumber, they had no clue who Benjamin Franklin was and why he was so important to the creation of America. 🇺🇲

This person thought he was a President because he was on the $100 bill. 🤯

Here is a link that will help inform or educate you on Who Ben Franklin was and how he became a key negotiator in our becoming The United States of America.

Over the summer we went to Washington DC and I picked up a little book of quotes by Ben Franklin.

Here are a few famous quotes:

“A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned“

“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.“

“In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is Freedom, in water there is bacteria.“

“Hide not your talents, they for use were made, What’s a sundial in the shade?“

Camera Clicks – Washington, DC July 4th

This is about our recent trip and my first time ever going to DC.

To say the least, we had a lot on our minds about what we might encounter because of the constant negative news reports.

Bottom line, we were absolutely surprised at what a great experience we had.

Not once, and I mean this, not once did we encounter militant or disgruntled people; not once!

It was an absolute pleasure to see Our Nations Capital and we are looking forward to going back.

Did we see homeless people sleeping or lounging around a few monuments? Yes. Were they panhandling or begging? Nope.

Honestly, we expected to experience some of what we saw in downtown Boston which was: open use of drugs, mental illness and etc. We were stunned to see people shooting up & smoking meth out in plain sight, not in shadowy corners, I mean straight up in the sunlight at a main corner in downtown Boston. When we visited the famous Boston Commons, mental illness and homeless were prevalent.

So when we ubered to Union Station on the Tuesday before the 4th, we saw homeless people milling about and thought “ok, eyes open people” because you just never know.

We walked around the White House. We saw a couple groups protesting waving signs, but they weren’t what we expected. They were “peacefully” holding signs and talking amongst themselves.

We walked through them to get a picture of us in front of this amazing symbol of our Rights. Not one person gave us a second look, much less shouted at us or had anything negative to say.

Well, wasn’t that surprising? Yes it sure was. We remarked to each other that “maybe the news reports have exaggerated a bit”? Its not to say there aren’t times it gets super passionate.

We sure expected it be super passionate because it was July 4th and Our President was speaking in a couple days on the steps of the Lincoln Monument.

We stayed in and around DC for 7 days and not once did we experience any of the political craziness that we expected.

So I say all that to say, “What an Amazing Experience!”We got to see and experience things that we’d only ever read about or seen on TV. I cannot adequately describe the amount of renewed Pride, I have for being an American!

Here are some pictures of our trip:
