Sorry I haven't been around / Memorial Day
Just wanted to let all my readers know why I haven't posted in awhile as you have already figured out. A lot has been going on with my family lately so I just haven't had the time but after we get our twins through High School Graduation things will slow for a time then it will get busy again. Boy, there sure is a lot involved with heading off to college.
Anyway, I will be back here and there so don't give up on me. In the mean time, Memorial Day is approaching. I and my family always went down home,(Medicine Lodge, KS) visited with family and put flowers on the graves. Since we can't do that anymore, we live in Alabama, I have the next best thing and you can go it too.
Just go to findagrave. See if someone has posted any of your long gone family members and you can leave a message and/or flowers. You can also put your family on the site. It's also a great way of finding long lost cousins that you didn't even know you had. A while back I found a gentleman that I never knew about and discovered we were third cousins.

Abraham Lincoln's Views Online
From the History Channel Club: Living History
Ever wonder, "What was he thinking?"? Philadelphia's Rosenbach Museum & Library offers a chance to get some insight into Abraham Lincoln's views on race, his patterns of thought and rhetoric, and his role as a celebrity, both in his own day and ours.
The interactive online celebration of Lincoln's life, work, and words features creative interpretations of 30 documents from the Rosenbach's collection of rare and significant Lincoln materials, such as speeches, letters, and notes. Visitors can leave their impressions and interpretations for others—in words, songs, videos, photos, drawings, web links, and other media—as they consider why our 21st-century culture remains still so fascinated with this 19th-century man. You can get in on the action at 21stcenturyabe.org.
