Lou Hoo

Ever have one of those school projects assigned to your kid that you whine and groan about,

then they end up learning a ton and loving every history soaked second?  No, just me? 

 

For the last few weeks, we've learned all kinds of facts about Lou.   Lou who? 

Lou Hoover. 

We know she and her husband spoke Mandarin, travelled the world and studied geology.  She threw great White House parties and after her death, Henry discovered that she'd paid for schooling for many under privileged kids.  In short, she was amazing. 

 

 

On history fair night, our girl proudly paraded in with all her knowledge, her very 1920s headband and her sprayed gray hair. ( I snapped pictures and reminded myself to get my whining in check.)
