Happy 200th birthday Abe!
You have a special place in my heart. My favorite great aunt called her house “Lincoln Villa”. Sadly the railings in front of the house were removed to support the War against Adolf Hitler. Well better losing a few railings than to have Storm Troopers on your Street! Our family was a great admirer of Abe and so is Obama. As we all know Abe made the Stove Pipe Top Hat famous. I love top hats – they are so sexy. They seem to be making a comeback. Certainly high crowns are in high fashion – it’s a start.
Here are some posts I made about Abe recently:
