I thought I would end my three days of quotes by skipping ahead two hundred years to the 21st century and our current First Lady.

Yesterday I started the three quotes in three days challenge. Today I’m going back two centuries to post a quote from First Lady Abigail Adams. Continue reading
Eleanor Roosevelt’s home Val-Kill in Hyde Park, New York
A few days ago I was nominated for the Three Quotes/Three Days challenge. I accepted this challenge because I love the idea of taking a step back from blogging and doing something different. I hope you enjoy reading these posts as much as I enjoy writing them. Continue reading

And, kaboom, February! Before the ground hog comes out of of his hole tomorrow morning I wanted to get another post out.
