LINCOLN--

last night we went to the cementry where abe --mary--and the three boys are buried here in springfield...one of their boys is buried in Arlington.. they do an retiring of the flag ceremony every tues night and if you get there in time you can ut your name in the basket to win the flag...(no we did not win) today the first part of the morning was to do laundry so we have enough clean clothes hahahaha.. back to the rig for lunch then off to the Illinois state museum where we spent another aomost 3 hrs at...one ting they had there was maybe 10 or more quilts that had been given to some of the troops during the war...sure don't know why they are in as good as condition as they are but most impressive...of course the work was all done by hand no fancy sewing machines then.. tomorrow we are on the move again..not sure where we are heading need to talk about it and check to see what we might want to see or do along the route we pick.. all's well

if you noticed Lincoln's nose and it is shinny there of course is a reason..some time ago people started to rub it to bring them good luck so now most everyone rubs the nose for good luck..yep we did but maybe we h=should have gone out to buy a lottery ticket after rubbing it but we didn't...
