Four Years Ago

Shutterfly is now sending out memory emails.  I got one last week reminding me that four years ago we were visiting my brother and sister in law in Arizona.  We traveled with them to Sedona and those were the photos Shutterfly included in their email

Nice memories.

More US Presidents - Part 2

As I said in the previous post, the Portrait Gallery has an exhibit of US Presidents' portraits that are not the official portraits.  It's interesting to see what these men looked like.  It's also interesting to read about what they accomplished in office; not much for most of them according to a book my husband recently read. 

It's unlikely you'll be able to name these guys so I'll label them for you.  There will be some to guess from the 20th century.

7. Andrew Jackson

8. Martin Van Buren

9.  William Henry Harrison

10. John Tyler

11. James Polk

12. Zachary Taylor

13.  Millard Fillmore

14. Franklin Pierce

15. James Buchanan

This one is recognizable I'm sure: 16. Abraham Lincoln

17. Andrew Johnson

18. Ulysses Grant

19. Rutherford Hayes

20. James Garfield

21. Chester Arthur

22. & 24.  Grover Cleveland

23. Benjamin Harrison

25. William McKinley

26. Theodore Roosevelt.

Do you recognize the rest of these?
