Since it was Presidents Day I thought it would be appropriate to honor our 1st President George Washington. Here are some interesting facts about George:
♦ At 6 feet 2 inches and 200 pounds, President George Washington is one of the larger U.S Presidents in history.
♦ Some of his favorite foods were cream of peanut soup, mashed sweet potatoes with coconut, and string beans with mushrooms. Because of his love for ice cream, Washington had ice cream coolers installed in his house.
♦ He didn't have any children of his own but treated his 10 hounds like family. He gave them names such as Tarter, True Love, and Sweet Lips.
♦ By the time he was 57, he had only one original tooth remaining. He wore false ivory teeth until his death at age 67.
Popular quotes by George Washington:
"It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible."
"Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses."
"Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to alone than in bad company."
