Did You Know

 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.

Thanks to Denise for helping me get the word out today. AND a belated thank you to Birgit and my sister who were kind enough to post on Facebook.

    And he had a son to carry on his legacy of a single term presidency.

    I am pretty certain I would rather be a cobbler than a President too. And no, I didn't know any of this.

      No doubt in my mind about what my choice would be:) Hint. It wouldn't be president.

    A shoemaker? Hmmm, he must have loved making shoes at one point. You are very welcome!

      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 appreciate that, Stacy. Covid just seems like a snowball heading down a mountain getting bigger and bigger.
