Honest Abe

Do you have favorite people? Abraham Lincoln is one of my favorites. Mine and 18 billion other people's.



He was born 200 years ago today: February 12, 1809.

Why do I always remember Abe Lincoln's birthday? Go ahead--venture a guess.

(Or look here for a hint.)

I love that movie. Keanu's best role. :)

I don't even need the hint.

"February 12th. 1809." Also Kate Burrill's birthday. (Not in 1809.)

Also, I liked what the Eliza blog had to say about honest Abe: "Vilified in life, defied in death."

Hee hee.

I went to the Abraham Lincoln museum this summer. It was so cool!

Yeah...the blog needs an editor, but it's cool. It's cool!

We did some writing exercises with the Gettysburg Address - which I explained and read to my kids. They actually seemed to enjoy/understand quite a bit.

Always trying to do my part!!
