February 22! Cherry pie!
Remember when we made construction paper Hatchets?
Read his stories aloud?
Admired him?
Don't let them take our holidays , stories and culture away!
February 22d. Washington’s Birthday! From back in the days when FEDERAL HOLIDAYS REALLY MEANT SOMETHING. Not like a lot of the crap we have now. Just another day off.
She’s my cherry pie
Cool drink of water such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good makes a grown man cry
Sweet Cherry Pie
Sorry. Warrant’s song is the first thing i thought of when I saw Cherry Pie.
George Washington, a great man, a great president, a great leader, a great warrior, a man to be admired and emulated.
At first, I put GW, but i want NO ONE mistakenly thinking I meant that moron from 2000.
Enjoy the day!
My own birthday is February 21.
When I was young, my mother used to make me a chocolate birthday cake with cherry frosting and cherries on top—in honor both of me and of George Washington!
Happy Washington’s (real) birthday, you all!
When I was a kid the story about George Washington cutting down the cherry tree and when confronted said I can not tell a lie. I did it.
That kept me honest all my life|.
Love me some cherrie pie, but usually only once a year (dessert, not metaphor). Same with pecan pie. (Metaphor not dessert).
Yes I can remember that.
And I can remember my children, in elementary school, drawing pictures of both Lincoln and Washington, in February, and pictures drawn by children being displayed in their school.
It’s hard to believe now , but these events happened in a public school in California.
Would have been My Parents 78th Wedding Anniversary.
