Know Your States of the U.S.A.

7/23/2018

This just in: a new bread wheel! I've never heard of Aunt Hannah. I find her a little bit too exited about teaching us about the states. Bread wheels and "know your state" wheels are a dime a dozen, really, but this one has Aunt Hannah, so we had to get it.

This wheel measures 4.25 by 5.25 inches, excluding the little dial portions that stick out from the sides. It's in pretty good shape. It has half the states on one side, half on the other. It doesn't include Alaska or Hawaii as it bears a copyright date of 1951.

I like how she's holding the country in her loving hands. This wheel includes some old state mottoes, including New Mexico's odd "It grows at is goes" and Washington's mysterious "By and by". I wonder if there are still only 3,082 people in Carson City?

Whoa, that teacher "Aunt Hannah? " looks scary. And when I first looked at the the NM motto I hadn't zoomed in, so I read, "It grows or it goes!" Which is I think a better motto than, 'The land of Enchantment'. But probably is a good motto for indoor plants.

Hmm, what I meant to say was, "It is also a good motto for indoor plant care" But I can't figure out how (or even if it's possible) to edit my post. :(
