Wow, you met Jimmy Carter! That's so cool!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you could say we "met" him. We enjoyed listening to his Sunday School lesson and toward the end, he said something like this: "If you want a picture with us, we can do that outside when church is done. I used to say I'd be happy to do it, but I don't say that anymore." Of course everyone going into the church had to have pockets and purses looked over by secret service.
DeleteLike Country Dew, I'm very impressed that you met Jimmy Carter. What good people!
ReplyDeleteIf we had been there on any other Sunday, we probably would have had to sit in another room and watched on TV, because the actual church was usually full. President Carter said they had less people on Easter because people are gathering with their family on that day.
DeleteI thinmk about food a lot. Should I eat that or not? It's exhausting.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm not thinking about what I want to eat, I'm thinking about I'll cook for the next meal.
DeleteLove Jimmy Carter! The only president I've ever met was Ronald Reagan and he hadn't been president yet.
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to hear President Carter teach a lesson.
ReplyDeleteThat whole day is a memory I treasure.
