ESPRESSO DAY



President Zachary Taylor
Zachary Taylor (November 24, 1784 – July 9, 1850) was an American military leader and the twelfth President of the United States. Known as "Old Rough and Ready", Taylor had a 40-year military career in the U.S. Army, serving in the War of 1812, Black Hawk War, and Second Seminole War before achieving fame leading U.S. troops to victory at several critical battles of the Mexican-American War. A Southern slaveholder who opposed the spread of slavery to the territories, he was uninterested in politics but was recruited by the Whig Party as their nominee in the 1848 presidential election. In the election, Taylor defeated the Democratic nominee, Lewis Cass, and became the first U.S. president never to hold any prior elected office. Taylor was also the last southerner to be elected president until Woodrow Wilson. As president, Taylor urged settlers in New Mexico and California to bypass the territorial stage and draft constitutions for statehood, setting the stage for the Compromise of 1850. Taylor died of acute gastroenteritis just 16 months into his term. Vice President Millard Fillmore then became President.



BAD LUCK??

GOOD LUCK??

SUPERSTITIONS DAY



Note: I had few Celebration Days to choose from for November 24, so I added one of my own "Superstitions Day". Maybe we can have some fun with it. Also, this is my first attempt at "Celebrations" and you would laugh if you knew how long it took me. So I ask you to take any mistakes for love for Amy's Place and the wonderful FRiends I have met here.

And I will be back after while!

Good job, jaycee!!! Thanks for posting our Holidays today.

I want so badly to stay and play, but my Thanksgiving company is arriving early, so I need to get busy and get things in order here.

You have a wonderful day!

Hi Jaycee :) Great post!

I wanted to say the other day, sorry to hear about the dental. I know how you feel. Dental flossing and cleanings and I still have troubles too. The first dentist wanted a fortune. I went to a 2nd dentist and he's a smaller fortune. ;) It's frustrating. I hope you are feeling good today!

Have a Great Day Everyone!
