A Walk Along Lincoln's Street

Good morning and come in, have a cup of coffee and chit chat. It is always good to have company and I love it when you visit. Thank you for all the lovely comments on my cousin Eddie's passing. You know when you are an only you get really close to cousins. I have some first cousins I love, but we don't get together often. Some are in different states(most) but even though we don't see one another often, we love one another. Eddie was a part of my life forever and he will be missed.
Anyway, when Michael, Deb, and I went to hold Amelia, on Sunday after we left the hospital, we took a walk down Historic Springfield. It was a beautiful Sunday and I took a few pictures. Sorry, I don't remember the names of the homes, but thought you all would enjoy seeing them.

This is Lincolns home. I love the plainness of it. Inside it is all decorated in Victorian, as you would imagine.

I love the simplicity of this.

Deb and Michael, pretending they are home.

Me, inviting Michael into "my"home.lol

Deb and Michael under the big tree.

I hope you enjoyed our walk today as much as I did. Can you imagine if you had lived on this street back then, greeting this man on a walk? I can see him tipping his hat and saying,"Morning". Can't you? If you haven't visited Springfield, you may want to consider it as a family vacation. Especially if you have school age children. The museum is wonderful as well as all the Lincoln memorabilia. Personally, I enjoy the big statues through out the town. I have toured it all and thoroughly enjoyed it every time. There are so many wonderful places to eat and on Saturday the downtown streets are closed to a wonderful farmers market.

 I couldn't end this post without including this picture. Didn't we all love that show?
Well, I am so glad you came Through My Back Door where life is good.
betty
PS: I hope you are all staying cool. It is so hot in so many places
PSS: Andrew got his first library card this week. Just had to share.

Mollie was there too, reading while he was filling out his request form.
PSSS:A reminder, Christmas in July in Clinton is this Saturday. You will have fun if you go.
