Answers to the Citizenship Test

Howdy! Do you remember back in April when I posted a sample citizenship test? It was 100 questions. Here’s a link to that post.

Tiny T remembers. (Name that meme!)

I’ll tell you who else remembers: Martie.

Hi Martie!

I owe a big, juicy apology to this dear reader. She is almost local to the farm, living in sort of nearby Guthrie, Oklahoma. Our great state’s original capitol! It’s a great little city. Guthrie boasts a beautiful main street filled with cool shops, delicious cafes, and trendy coffee houses. Their gorgeous, shaded Mineral Wells park hosts some of the nicest car shows and Zombie 5-Ks around. AND Guthrie is where my beekeepers’ club meets each month. Love it there!

Anyway, sweet Martie has been commenting here for a while and has asked me a couple of times if I would please post the 100 answers to that little citizenship test. Well I lost the answers. Okay? I just did. I forgot to save the answer page back in April and have been having a long, extended nervous breakdown over this ever since.

So. Very. Embarrassing.

Tonight I found them!!

So. Very. Exciting!! I really needed this win, you guys. And I am happy to be able to post them here for Martie especially. She’s such a sweet lady, and she calls her guy “Handsome” too. xoxo
