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.
Good to know! Hugs, Valerie

DeleteA wise President back then. What happened four years ago?
ReplyDeleteA question many of us ask daily. Sigh.
DeleteAnd he had a son to carry on his legacy of a single term presidency.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize John Quincy was a one termer also. Thanks for that:)
DeleteYou are a mind of information Sandra......no I didn't know this either.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Yvonne.
Thanks, Yvonne:) Your Americana factoid:)
DeleteI am pretty certain I would rather be a cobbler than a President too. And no, I didn't know any of this.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt in my mind about what my choice would be:) Hint. It wouldn't be president.
DeleteA shoemaker? Hmmm, he must have loved making shoes at one point. You are very welcome!
ReplyDeleteI'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.
DeleteAmazed as always.
ReplyDeleteLife is stranger than fiction, isn't it, Jamie?
DeleteI did not know that. And the shoemaker part is interesting!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a far cry from a politician.
DeleteI didn't know about wanting to be a shoemaker! Happy to promote your fantastic book! Xo
ReplyDeleteAw. Thanks, bud;)
