Your post is an amazingly wonderful presentation of what's there, but I must admit to being the teensiest bit creeped out by the facts that (a) someone decided to put together all this memorabilia just because one president's mother (Theodore Roosevelt's) once lived in the house and (b) all the presidents and their ladies are cardboard cutouts just like Michael Phelps at your friendly neighborhood Subway sandwich shop.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-56012776949399836722012-12-25T03:48:43.790-05:002012-12-25T03:48:43.790-05:00I can't get over what an amazing place this is...I can't get over what an amazing place this is.

I never just post an image that isn't mine, so I visited your blog and found myself staying to enjoy your travels vicariously, so I will become a follower. I enjoyed your photos as well as your narrative, and I invite you to look at my blog as well.<br />I will add your blog to my blogroll. I think my readers will enjoy it. <br />And, of course, may I use your shaka sign?Wendy Dembeckhttp://www.thirdagetraveler.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-90339635466816968052012-12-19T19:26:21.187-05:002012-12-19T19:26:21.187-05:00Beautifully decorated!Beautifully decorated!EG CameraGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803759124643467711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-23324375267453264962012-12-19T16:50:15.299-05:002012-12-19T16:50:15.299-05:00What a lot of imagination, not to mention hard wo...What a lot of imagination, not to mention hard work, went into those beautiful displays!

We visited FDR's home on the Hudson during Thanksgiving and are looking forward to the movie.<br /><br />I really enjoyed your comment about speaking French, especially that Haitian French didn't have an accent. I think your family is linguistically gifted. Your father spoke so many languages. Oh, the stories he must have had from the people he met, the little tidbits that come from knowing a language.<br /><br />Kittie Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756250649095903317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-89164021259143594352012-12-17T21:38:37.105-05:002012-12-17T21:38:37.105-05:00Such an enjoyable tour of this amazing place.
