Did you know, John Adams was a one term president and basically lost the election because he was against war with France? Who'd a thought, huh. Once out of office, he said he should have become a shoemaker.

Good to know! Hugs, Valerie
A wise President back then. What happened four years ago?
And he had a son to carry on his legacy of a single term presidency.
You are a mind of information Sandra......no I didn't know this either.
Take care.
Yvonne.
I am pretty certain I would rather be a cobbler than a President too. And no, I didn't know any of this.
A shoemaker? Hmmm, he must have loved making shoes at one point. You are very welcome!
Amazed as always.
I'm not sure he actually ever made them. He was a farmer, but he ran across one that was singing and appeared happy with his work.
I did not know that. And the shoemaker part is interesting!
I didn't know about wanting to be a shoemaker! Happy to promote your fantastic book! Xo
:)
Aw. Thanks, bud;)

Happy Thursday, efriend!
A question many of us ask daily. Sigh.
I didn't realize John Quincy was a one termer also. Thanks for that:)
Thanks, Yvonne:) Your Americana factoid:)
No doubt in my mind about what my choice would be:) Hint. It wouldn't be president.
Life is stranger than fiction, isn't it, Jamie?
Definitely a far cry from a politician.
Happy Thursday, efriend;)
Very interesting!! I didn't know!
Sandra, I am so sorry about your family dealing with so many Covid cases!!! You are in my thoughts! Sending love to everyone! Please take care, Big Hugs!
Interesting.

Uy interesante, gracias por el dato y buen fin de semana
I appreciate that, Stacy. Covid just seems like a snowball heading down a mountain getting bigger and bigger.
Big hugs received and returned.
That would have been a bit of a career change, wouldn't it, CJ?:)
Indeed:)
You are most welcome.
Thank you:)
haha make the right shoe and you can get rich too
I knew Adams only had one term, but didn't know why he lost.
Love,
Janie
Heh. Isn't that the truth?
Lot of folks were hell bent for war.
