If we can know what the future is going to be then we can avoid danger, potentially lifethreatening danger. We can also get the joke of opportunity.

Up next, a tour of Eleanor Roosevelts valkill cottage in hyde park, new york. The retreat is about two miles from the springwood Franklin Family estate. Certainly, this became the very First National Historic Site to be dedicated to a first lady and the only Historic Site dedicated to one first lady. Well, valkill encompasses two major buildings. The first building, the stone cottage, was built in 1925 to initially serve as a retreat for Eleanor Roosevelt and her two political mentors, nancy cook and Marion Dickerman.
