Levi Jordan

OK - So there are two parts to this post that appear unrelated, but read on:

Part 1:
I am working on the restoration of the Levi Jordan Plantation in Brazoria, Texas. Levi Jordan was a slave owner who had the largest sugar and cotton producing plantation in Texas in the mid-19th century.

Part 2:
While I was recording little Owen achievements in his diary, there was a Land of Nod advertisement (the diary was free). I actually love the Land of Nod - their stuff is sooo cute. So, the ad shows two growth charts, side by side. Do you remember these kinds of growth charts from when you were a kid? Your name was at the top, and your mom marked your height as you grew. Anyway, in this ad, the name on the left chart was "Levi" and on the right..."Jordan".

I will scan the ad and post it - I found it pretty...unreal!
