Mom suggests everyone go do what she did, to try getting some education to our youth who aren't getting it in school--and maybe get a free cherry pie!

I feel compelled to bake a cherry pie this weekend in Washington's honor.

I'm old enough to remember when Washington's birthday was celebrated separately (the law combining the observance of Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays passed in 1971) and of course cherry pie was on the menu!

Good for your mother for telling the kids the importance of Washington and his character.

When I worked a certain place ‘95-’96, they still had their own separate WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY as a holiday to be taken off. It wasn’t President’s Day and they didn’t take off Lincoln’s Day, either.
