George Washington's mother is funny.  She died at the age of 81.

Her name was Mary Bell. Then she became Mary Washington. She had four children. She owned a farm when her husband died. It had 9 cows, 9 other cattle, 11 sheep, 19 hogs, and 2 horses. It was called Ferry Farm.

Mary Washington must had been a really interesting lady. She taught George many things that he remembered all his life that helped him be a great man. Be thankful for your Mom for teaching you many things. It will help you be a great man someday. I can tell that you are already becoming a great man.

Hi Andrew,
You taught me something this morning. I never knew how many animals were on that farm. I did not know the name of the farm, either. One of my favorite subjects is History. That is why I love to read the Holy Bible because it is full of History. Did you know that the work History means His Story? I love to read about history especially about the start of this great country of ours. I ask you to join me in asking our Father in Heaven to continue to bless America and our President.

Andrew,

I like your star background which is cool. And I like your dancing baby. It's pretty cool, too.

your friend,
