Remembering scents of chalk and chewing gum and the grind of #2 Ticonderogas, as well as the waxy-sweet smell of Crayolas, along with the vinegar/iodine waft of the mimeographed sheets of PRESIDENTS, on their days.
February 12 was always a BIG ax, with a rail fence, or perhaps a large top-hat, and then on the 22nd, we were handed round the sometimes-still-warm-from-the-mimeograph sheets with a little hatchet and a double-stem of two cherries.
Sometimes a flag on each, and always their names, spelled out in outlined letters, so we could color them in, as well.
The Lincolns went up on the wall around the blackboards until the Washingtons came out, and those fluttered merrily til Easter baskets. Or maybe Kites.

I was reminded of President's Day and added it to my post when I saw your post. sigh. Too much action around here to distract me from the real world. HA!
The real world is facing me today and I am getting some projects done. I would really love to sit and play on my computer all day by visiting my blogging friends. Sigh. Not enough time in a day.
Have a happy day my dearest friend,
Love you, Jeanne

Yes, our country has been blessed in the past. If we could just find the same in these days.

Sadly, President's Day seems to be more focused on retail sales specials than reflecting on our past presidents.
I agree with LaVoice....sure wish we could find some really fine leaders in this day and age....times have certainly changed. :(
Hope you enjoyed the day!
L, Dana
