There's too much to see, waiting in front of me, and I know that I just can't go wrong
With changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes.

Executive Mansion,
Washington, Nov. 21, 1864.
Dear Madam,--
I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle.
I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save.
I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,
A. Lincoln

I find this an interesting quote as it was only yesterday when I mentioned to my Bride I find myself learning more at the end of my life than at the beginning. Things that should have been learned in fourteen years of a formal education setting were wasted through inattentiveness are now learned and retained. I'm amazed at my hunger for knowledge at the age of 85 years and ten months. Soon I'll have completed third grade.
I wish I knew. LOL

- The words of a Foster child while staying in our home after he had already been given all the allowed junk food for that day.
Note: It didnt work for that event and he had to settle for some real food, but I had to laugh.

Ran across this in a book I'm reading ---

over-anxious about what the future will bring."

Not sure, but it sure seems to stick to (and clog up) the bottle opening quite easily and thoroughly...
