happy birthday mr. president

i call him TJ
that's the type of relationship we have
it's his birthday today

this is a toast... to you


TJ has always been my favorite president 
in the 4th grade
i wrote an amazing paper on Mr. Jefferson
stained it with tea and coffee 
wrote it in calligraphy
and got an A+
winning!

i followed him to virginia
graduated from his university
 i wrote several essays on TJ- 
as president, as a scientist, as an architect, etc
cherished every moment at his alma mater W&M and Monticello

I also adore everything Jefferson.
Jefferson Hotel
Jefferson Vineyards
Jefferson Memorial
Jefferson's Portrait at the Governor's Mansion
Jefferson's Statue on Grounds
 Jefferson Parlor at the Homestead
even the Jefferson Wrap @ Old Dominion Cafe before it closed
I also lived on Jefferson Ave in Charlottesville =)

everywhere i go and see Jefferson
i have the need to take a picture with it

my 2 favorite places to brunch in virginia
also have relations to Jefferson

first favorite place to brunch is the Jefferson
i'm told TJ was fond of Spoonbread
the southern dish fast became my favorite, too


my second favorite is Keswick Hall
 Fossett's is dedicated to Jefferson's personal chef, Edith Fossett

i used to order the mimosa brunch
an endless assortment of local southern gourmet dishes
doesn't look like they offer the all-you-can-dine/drink plan anymore

at any rate,
TJ, cheers!
ill have a drink of Vin de Trois from the Jefferson Vineyards!
