PRESIDENTIAL HANDSHAKES ON NEW YEAR’S DAY

  Shaking the president's hand. Have you? Ever? Tell me about it! Calvin Coolidge's New Year's lineup.     PRESIDENTIAL HANDSHAKES ON NEW YEAR’S DAY     For more than a century, New Year’s Day was marked by a large reception held at the White House. Foreign ambassadors and members of the US government were invited, but attendance wasn’t restricted to a guest list. Astoundingly, anyone could wait on line, enter the White House, and shake the hand of the president.  The tradition of the New Year’s reception, or levee, as it was often called, began with George Washington, before the White House was built.

Also, nights continue to get longer. Cats, crepuscular creatures, are nocturnal hunters. Their superior night vision means that the nights belong to them. Mae West (actress) was born on   Thursday, August 17, 1893 .   “Come up and see me sometime,” Mae West.   The most famous “one-liner” Mae West has ever created easily turned into her signature song: Come up and See Me Sometimes!  1934 Comedy ...

Time to bake!

My husband is from a small farm, and he’s never gotten over the urge to raise fresh vegetables. I used to enjoy canning and making jelly but since I became an author there’s very little free time so it’s up to him. I resurrected my mother’s old recipe for zucchini bread and recently made a couple of loafs. Boy did they taste and smell good too!              Now is the time to become absorbed in a new book!                                                                                                                    Suffragette to Death       Here is the link to the first in my White House Dollh...
