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.
going to all of the sites and lincoln museum in springfield was so awesome. that is the best museum I have ever been in.
