According to this page two of the four youngsters are girls.

Thanks, Anita!

Regarding housework one First Lady said, "It takes as much courage to stick to the housework until it is done as it does to go out and meet a bear."
What was the First Lady's name who said this?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 10-02-2015
I have no idea, but totally agree (I think the bear is even the more interesting choice).
Jackie Kennedy?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 10-02-2015
Eva, your guess is excellent, but it was not Jackie Kennedy.
Hint #1: Eva's guess is in the right century.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 10-02-2015
Hillary doesn't "look" to me like a devoted housewife either!?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 10-02-2015
Nope, it's not Hillary.
Hint #2: This lady said this about her husband:
"If you want to get the gloomiest view of any subject on earth, ask (insert husband's name) about it."
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 10-02-2015
Hmmm, that should rule out several (the Bushes, RR, Carter e.g.). Hoover?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 10-02-2015
Excellent, Eva! It was Lou Henry Hoover! She said the quote about housekeeping in a speech before the national convention of Girl Scout leaders.
I cannot think of an appropriate prize other than to wish you a wonderful early fall weekend in Kiel. I know the 25th anniversary of Germany's reunification is tomorrow.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 10-02-2015
Thanks, Roger - I believe I read Hoover was a pessimist.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 10-03-2015
To which president are these items linked? Why?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - L Verge - 10-03-2015
This is going to be a very wild guess, but the barrel is labeled as Cidre Pommeau Calvados and also says Regional Products. Cidre Pommeau is a famous product of Calvados, a region in Normandie, France. The only President I can tie this to, however, would be Eisenhower because of the Normandy invasion during WW!!???
BTW: Cidre Pommeau literally means apple cider, but if I remember correctly, this famous drink is apple juice or cider mixed with apple brandy.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 10-03-2015
Do these have something to do with the Grants' trip to Europe?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 10-03-2015
Two excellent guesses, Laurie and Roger, but, I'm sorry to say, not correct. Laurie - cider is a good direction. There's something else in that photo which is why I chose it. And what about the other photo?

William Henry Harrison - The Log Cabin and Hard Cider Candidate?
