I miss east Texas a lot - don't like the land here in Houston - too flat and too many hurricane threats. I did think it over and turns out I was almost right about mt rushmore- I guess north dakota(had dakota right!) and had lincoln and washington and jefferson..forgot ol' teddy boy! I really do need to travel some one of these days.<br /><br />I still find it unbelievable when I read about people not knowing New Mexico is a state but I guess if you don't live near it you don't really think much about it!<br />SusannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-181427791517165082012-08-27T12:46:39.711-04:002012-08-27T12:46:39.711-04:00Susanna, you must be a native Texan.
My theory is...Susanna, you must be a native Texan.<br /><br />My theory is that Texans have so much in their own state that they really don't think too much about the rest of the country. Texas is kind of a country all on its own.<br /><br />And I've never had any arguments from native Texans when I've said that!<br /><br />FYI - Mt Rushmore is in South Dakota (aka, up north), and the four presidents are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. It was carved out of this solid granite mountain in the 1930's by Gutzon Borglum, who also carved Stone Mountain in Tennessee. <br /><br />Three million people visit Mt. Rushmore every year. 3 MILLION! I see them, but I still can't conceive of that many people. One time when we were up there my son counted 10 different languages he heard being spoken by other visitors.Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-77840075220700155892012-08-27T11:43:56.283-04:002012-08-27T11:43:56.283-04:00wow this sounds good! and ..sigh..I have to admit ...wow this sounds good! and ..sigh..I have to admit I hav no idea who's on mt rushmore..I've at least heard of it but heck I'm not even sure which state it's in except 'up north'..I have no idea what they taught me in school..hopefully with my friend's 4 yr old I can learn along with him! <br />susannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-46943194772913464502012-08-27T11:15:21.412-04:002012-08-27T11:15:21.412-04:00Jan, I'm going to email you my middle child...Jan, I'm going to email you my middle child's latest goofy photo.

(And I'm not talking about TSA - I mean the security at home...)<br /><br />Sad story - we were leaving Mt. Rushmore one day this summer and passed by a family just coming out of the parking lot, right there where you get your first really good view. Their 14-year-old or so daughter stopped and looked up, squinted, sighed, and said, "I think one of them is George Washington, right?"<br /><br />I hope she was a BIT more enthusiastic by the time they left...Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-15992158903770563932012-08-27T11:06:36.948-04:002012-08-27T11:06:36.948-04:00Jan, this looks amazing!!!

I just called them George, Tom, Teddy, and Abe when we lived up there. We were there so often we just had to be on a first name basis:-)<br /><br />And I LOVE Keystone! Fun little town.

Shame on you.<br /><br />My recipe is identical, except for the topping. I just use a can of chocolate frosting, pop it in the microwave for 1 minute and then pour it over the top. However, if I didn't have a can of frosting, your recipe would save me a trip to the store, so it's going in as an addendum to my recipe :-)<br /><br />Precious boys, by the way. Sigh. They grow up so fast. However, I'm really glad school FINALLY started back up today. Now maybe I can actually accomplish something!Mindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-75129052634743175192012-08-27T10:16:32.010-04:002012-08-27T10:16:32.010-04:00Donna, the one consolation about having to wait to...Donna, the one consolation about having to wait to eat this is that you get to clean out the bowl.
