We carry the seeds of happiness with us wherever we go.

Martha Washington (1731-1802) was American’s first lady when her husband, George Washington served as the nation’s first President.  She proved to be a worthy partner with her husband, as she frequently remained at the front lines during the American Revolutionary War and also managed his affairs at home while he served as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army.
