February CupboardScape

 

Happy Monday friends.

So for today's CupboardScape,

I wanted to change things up.

It is all about our presidents 

George Washington & Abraham Lincoln.

I featured an item relating to one,

or the other, or both.

Your job is to see how well you know 

your presidents.

Answers revealed at the end of the post.

Here we go....

Who was famous for chopping down a cherry tree?

Who partook in the drinking of alcohol?

Who liked apples?

Who had a pet turkey?

Who like hoecakes?

Who was born in a log cabin?

Which president raised sheep?

Which president was this pattern named for? 

Which president smoked?

Who liked cats?

Who had a rose named after him?

Ok, now lets see which ones you got right.

Washington was supposedly the one who chopped

down the cherry tree, 

however this has never really been a fact.

Washington was the only president who drank.

Both Lincoln & Washington loved apples.

Who had a pet turkey?

Lincoln did. Actually it was his son Todd's.

They kept it at the White House.

When the Civil War started,

Lincoln allowed a voting booth to be placed

on the grounds for the soldiers.

The turkey rambled over to the soldiers.

Lincoln asked his son if the turkey wanted to vote.

Todd replied that his turkey was too young.  

Both presidents had a sweet tooth for hoecakes.

Lincoln was born in a log cabin.

Washington's parents were fairly wealthy and lived

in a house where he was born.

Washington raised sheep.

The pattern on the Aladdin oil lamp was

created from  the Lincoln swag

which was draped along his funeral train.

Washington smoked.

He also managed a tobacco farm

after his father's passing.

Lincoln loved cats.

Once someone asked Mrs. Lincoln

what the presidents hobbies were.

She replied  "cats"

Both had a rose named after them.

Well how many did you get correct?

I chose this display for my CupboardScape

because both President Washington

and President Lincoln were born in this month.

Hope you enjoyed.

In other news,

I saw another eagle on Saturday.

This time it was eating a duck in the tree.

His breakfast. 

I said before they follow the ducks,

and the ducks are in the river this time of year.

Bob and I also changed out the gift store on

Saturday night to Spring & Easter.

All of my handmades are in there now.

Still waiting on 3 more orders.

Hopefully they will come in before Easter.

The Canadian truckers have been protesting

at both of our borders here in Michigan.

I support them.

They were out there driving during the pandemic

before vaccines, 

and I believe they and everyone else

has the right to choose.

Well have to get to work.

Have a fantastic day!

Past Presidents Blessings To All!
