Kenny Rogers or Robert E. Lee

Funny story, when my family was here, we ate at Sonny's ...it's a really good BBQ place (apparently they had them down in Talahsee when I lived there when I was little and my dad really liked them...so he was excited about eating there).

OK, so we're sitting at the table and the restaurant is decorated "country like" and there was a picture on the wall by the fireplace that had a white bearded man kneeling in the snow with a horse. My dad prompted who is that guy in the picture (asking with seriousness). I of course look and respond with "Kenny Rogers"...and yes, again, I was being very serious! Clayton and my dad start cracking up! My mom and brother (who are apparently DUMB like me aren't lauging). My dad and Clayton say at the same time it's "Robert E. Lee!!!" ...opps! My mistake! He seriously looked like Kenny Rogers!!! ....I guess I need to take history lessons about the south, because EVERY town you go to there is a statue of this guy...Robert E. Lee!!! Yikes!!! I guess I should have paid attention in history class.
