We are thankful for....

November 12

Education is essential for life. It doesn't just mean going to school and doing worksheets and stuff. It's learning anything. Obtaining knowledge from the world. Without it,, we cannot function through life and we wouldn't know how to do anything. We are thankful for this ability to learn and add knowledge to our brains' huge library of information.

Just to add some knowledge to your brain this evening, I will list some interesting facts from my brain that I have acquired over the years:

1. The tallest man ever was 8 ft. 11 inches. That's almost double my height.
2. Tootsie Rolls were first manufactured in 1896.
3.Your foot and ankle together have 26 bones.
4. Mistletoe and poinsettia plants are both poisonous to the mouth.
5. In Tennessee, it's illegal to play pinball under the age of 18.

  1. Was this written by Landon again???

    Interesting facts, but how would you know if it was made from nickel, cobalt, or iron?? (Bren's favorite quote from Landon about 6 years ago)

    I am thankful for my degree. Bren is thankful for his love of the sciences so he can make some money for our family.
