R.I.P. Marvelous Human. We have so much to be grateful for- his legacy changed our world.
Jimmy Carter was a personal hero to me for the way he conducted his life after leaving office. In 2011, I had the honor of meeting him after one of his Sunday School lessons in Plains. I have more than a few books about him, but it will take a lot to capture his legacy. There hasn‘t been and probably won‘t be another public figure like him. And amazing life as our longest lived president.
"I just might get lucky, so I better make sure she likes the smell downstairs,” said the 99-year-old Carter, holding open his waistband and reaching inside to apply a generous quantity of Brut eau de toilette spray to his penis and scrotum. “Yes, sir, this could be the night I catch me some strange. Better squirt some of this stuff on my [adjustable home hospital bed] too, in case we come back to my place." ???????
pickI really enjoyed this re-read of A Full Life, Jimmy Carter‘s reflections on his life. It‘s not very long so each topic is brief but it gives a great overview of all he has done both in the White House and beyond.
Jimmy Carter was president before I was old enough to know what a president was, but I have been a great admirer of his post-presidential life. I‘m sad to hear that he is going into hospice care, but so happy that I once met such an amazing role model. This is me with him after his Sunday School lesson in 2011. I‘m re-reading the tagged book in his honor. He‘s certainly had a full life.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Whooo… this one was chunky (30+ hours), but really good. I thought it did a great job of providing insight to who Jimmy Carter is and his quirks as well his tremendous capabilities and drive. He is a much more impressive person and president than I had realized. Definitely worth a read if you have any interest in presidential biographies or 20th century American history.
