today is the 200th anniversary of his birth.
tonight lexi & i are going to a birthday party for him and a celebration of "quilting in the time of lincoln" at the carthage library.
today as i drove to do my weekly shopping, across the river into iowa, several road signs on the illinois side of the mississippi told me to "Love the Land of Lincoln". i do. i really do. i am currently reading this book, a christmas gift, and loving it:
"The Case of Abraham Lincoln" by Julie Fenster. it is an excellently researched and very interestingly told story of a murder case that lincoln becme involved in as a lawyeram and the 1856 elections. i highly recommend it, especially if you are a fan of history and abrah lincoln. the only thing better than being in nauvoo, illinois today, would be to be in springfield, illinois.
