The third Monday of February is President’s Day, a national holiday in the United States.  It started as a way to honor our first president George Washington as well as Abraham Lincoln, both who had birthdays in February.  However, it has evolved into a day to honor all American presidents.  The banks and post offices are closed and the kids are off of school.

As I watched this video, I thought of my grandfather and my grandmother-in-law.  Both were born in 1909.  My grandpa passed away in 1989 but my husband’s grandmother lived until she was a month shy of her 97th birthday in 1986.  I believe I counted that Grandmother had lived through 15 presidents in her time on Earth.  That is amazing to me…until my husband piped up and said he had lived through 10 of them!
