I agree that George Washington is my favorite president. Love the pictures.
I would have gotten on here sooner, but for some strange reason, the computer I usually use doesn't let me get on your blog.:} Go figure. And I haven't been on much at all since I spent all day Wednesday on the computer getting my book to the publisher.:)
