Happy President's Day - the Day After!

Hi all. I know I'm a day late in wishing you a Happy President's Day, but happy wishes none the less. I had a few quotes from some former presidents to share with you. I'm sure you'll pardon the delay - these quotes are timeless, and are applicable everyday, so I'm sure you will still enjoy them.

I spent the holiday skiing. President's Day marks the last big ski holiday of the year, and it was certainly crowded. I personally only skied about an hour - I spent the rest of the day chasing my youngest up (and down) snow banks. I spent the majority of the day in my ski boots (wishful thinking) until I finally got smart and resigned myself to taking them off. As a result, my feet are quite tired and sore today. My oldest was able to enjoy the day skiing though, and has the sunburn to prove it. It certainly was a beautiful day! What a blessing to be able to go out and spend a day with the kiddos in a country where we are still endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights!

Hope you enjoy these quotes. There might be one or two in here for your scrapbooks!
