but, but, didn't Washington admit to his father that he chopped down the cherry tree with his own little ax.

He didn't lie

Possible but I would not bet on it. There is no real record of it an his dad died when he was 11.

I always wondered how he could afford to toss dollars in the Potomac.
I am sure it took practice, so a few shouldn't of made it.

He couldn't, part cause he was not a very wealthy kid an part cause the silver dollar was not invented yet.

A story that may or may not be true is that he skipped a peace of slate across the Rappahannock River once. The Potomac is a mile wide, the Rappahannock is around 300 feet.

It was a paper dollar, the tied it to Benjamin Franklin's kite.

I agree, I have it on good authority that it did piggyback on Franklin's kite. It did go up in a flash with the lightning so no photos were taken.

I've been wondering- anyone know how KristyHall is doing? She hasn't posted here in two months. She always posted beautiful, interesting photos.

I for one haven't been around here much thanks to a vacation and then 6 days in we had a family emergency where my Grandmother passed away, so we've been doing all that arrangements and now helping care for grandpa. Got away for a while last night with my Best friend For some fun at an outdoor Country concert, Called Country USA. Of all of the over 300 pictures I took, these are probably my favorites.
Country Singer Tyler Farr giving a young girl a hug.

Rachel Lipsky, the opener of the day. She sang some of her original songs, and covered a few others.

Here she was singing a Gary Allan Song called "Bones". Which.. I like the song Bones..

Tim Foust(?) of the band Home free, an A Capella group. They won the Sing off on NBC in season 4. I mean it SOUNDS like there were drums and guitars, but it was ALL VOCAL.. They really blew me away. They did some covers and parodies and some original songs of their own.

Lead singer from the Band Parmalee. I really like their song "Musta Had a Good Time" so It was Cool to see them!!
