Did You Know

 Did you know, Amelia Earhart and Eleanor Roosevelt were good friends and once ditched a Washington party to take a joyride/flight  to Baltimore and back?

I did know they were friends, but not that gem.

I also knew they were friends, but didn't know about that. Since Amelia was originally from KS, I tried to learn as much as I could about her.

I think people who are knowledgeable about Washington parties might think the flying alternative to attending one was a great idea.

I didn't know that. What an interesting relationship that must have been. I wonder whose idea it was to ditch the party and go joy-riding. My guess is... Eleanor. :-)

Didn't know that. Those were different times. Teddy Roosevelt was a out-of-the-box sort of guy, too!

Jacqui, Teddy was a fascinating character and a voracious reader, as I'm sure you know. I'm trying to get through all the Presidents but I'm only on Andy Jackson so I've still got a ways to go before I get to Teddy:)
Thanks, J.P. Sending you hugs.
Denise, Your Thursday trivia;) xo
