I'd call it antique and appreciate you going back 100 years for it.

N.O.'s comment about the St. Pauli girl made me chuckle.<br /><br />When I run out of ideas for blog posts I try to find something unique to say about every team, or I pick up a binder and find a set I like. Forgetting for a minute that no one else would care, or that it's common knowledge, just jot down some thoughts. You'd be amazed at how many people enjoy stuff like that.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10268829182522679026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-83337385535777474222020-04-12T12:04:49.335-07:002020-04-12T12:04:49.335-07:00National Cherish an Antique Day?

We have read books on them, he watches movies about them. He has them memorized in order along with their birth date, place of birth, state they ran from, and their date of death. We have even taken him on road trips to see Presidential things, probably the most unique is Thomas Jefferson's original tombstone is in the middle of the University of Missouri's campus. <br /><br />Anyway, lots of time to write this comment....<br /><br />Last year he has to do a project on a holiday that our family celebrates. I am not super into having my kid make stuff up for school, but he made a poster claiming we celebrate President's Day. It was funny, so I roll with it. All sorts of details about what we do, and he tops it off by randomly dressing up as George Washington on President's Day, and claims it's part of the tradition. This year, doesn't dress up for President's Day, all the kids notice, and his teacher from last year.
