One of the great things about collecting bookmarks is that wherever you go as a tourist you can usually pick up a bookmark to commemorate your visit. Sometimes they can just be a simple paper one that doesn’t cost anything. This is one I got on a visit to Boston and environs back in 1996 or thereabouts.

Not heard of John Adams and Abigail, were they a tribute to Tony Orlando and Dawn?
Great way to commemorate the all time greats, and not just presidents!

Probably because you are the one that stole it! and then spent it all on illicit baked beans.
Shame on you sir, shaaaaaaame….

I didn’t even know baked beans were a Boston specialty! Now I’ll have to get some whenever I go back. Which likely won’t be for a long, long time . . .

They’d be cold by the time they got here. In fact, they’d freeze on my porch.

Then you can warm them up over a nice fire! Kind of like that hobo in the live action Dennis the menace movie.

All hobos like beans. And busty zombies. And sad tigers. And killer rabbits.

So what do the dates mean, is that when they got married?
LikeLike
It’s misleading because they put their wives’ names in there. But those are the years they served as president.
