Welcome to our blog about life in a small town in New England where we are renovating an old farm house, enjoying having our father-in-law here during the summer, volunteering with the local fire department, working with the town, running a small alternative energy biz, and are owned by our white shepherd, a sassy kitty, Ody Parrot, chickens!

Puzzler
Here is a good puzzler for you: Which four US states have capitols named after former Presidents? (I will post the answer in a few days...)
I was going to say none, because I couldn't think of any, but then I cheated and looked it up, so I know the answer. I won't ruin anyone else's fun by saying, though. ;)
I thought j's comment could be published since she didn't give anything away! I will put the answers here in a couple of days, but since it took us that long to get it right I thought I'd give you a little more time. and, no, Cleveland is not the capital of Ohio...
If you don't want to know the answer stop reading here and hit the back button... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... o.k. here they are in no particular order. First, I must say that it took us three days and four people (me, hubby, mil, and fil) to figure it out. Hubby and I had what we thought were all four, but Cleveland was one of our guesses. My mil came up with the last one... Lincoln, Nebraska. Knew this one because I have been through it a few dozen times... Madison, WI. My family is from just South of there, and one of our businesses is headquartered there. Jackson, MI. I thought hubby made this one up. I stand corrected! The last one is Jefferson, MO. Phew! A plus to those who figured it out without peeking at google, an atlas, or other map!

Shannon...you need to find something we can't google!!!OL!!
You're not supposed to cheat! I thought it was a good exercise to go through the capitals to see what we remembered!
Was Baton Rouge a President? Oklahoma City? Being a Useless man, I knew I'd be bad at this but Wow, I'm bad at this.
