Happy President's Day

Not much beats a good holiday weekend, especially when your birthday falls on a Holiday. Today is my mom's 81st birthday. How fun to think about that. I love it when Monday's are a holiday because Sunday night you get to be excited for that one more day off.  To celebrate President’s Day I thought it would be fun to share some quotes from different President’s over the years.  Enjoy these quotes and I hope all of you have had an amazing holiday weekend full of fun and friends and family.
