Sounds like Lincoln couldn't even play golf during the Civil War! Can you imagine what a horrible life he led?! LOL. ~ Key Largo

I imagine he would have wasted time on golf. Scoff. Scoff.

Cartoon in the newspaper today features Trump comparing himself to Lincoln in leading the nation to triumph over the pandemic . . . . Honest Abe told the truth and tried to bring the nation together, so no comparison at all! Aloha! Rico

:) I think they were all good -- just sometimes takes time to realize.

I feel the most sorry for Lincoln; his life was sad almost from the beginning.

Thank you Edward. I had a marvelous day NOT painting my porch which three painters did paint. The great part was trying to keep the dog off for that is where her doggie door is.
