RUMOR HAS IT that when President Eisenhower's Momma was out on the porch sweeping and NEWS PEOPLE would come around her private home, she'd ignore them by slowly going into the house as if she never saw them.
I need to tour this quaint home again and take better notice of the interior of IKE's CHILDHOOD HOME in Abilene. It's been so many years ago.
I remember that in the Living room there were two club chairs that were upholstered in brown velveteen material. Made a believer out of me that I liked brown. Looked so cozy and inviting.
Convinced me that we can live very happily in a smaller house with a nice floorplan. Utilities would be down. I would LOVE to have acreage like this for a FLOWER GARDEN, VEGETABLE GARDEN and room for the dogs to run and distance for me to walk and walk and walk and walk and walk. Talk the LORD and not give a care that somebody saw me doing this or heard me speak the name of the LORD outloud.
For now, here are some exterior pics of the house and the Gardens.
May you have a PRESIDENTIAL MOMENT as the elections are coming up.
What does that mean to our Country? To our culture? To our individual lives?
I LIKE IKE.......where are you Ike?
