I remember memorizing the Gettysburg Address in high school. Wonderful words of wisdom. Love your header!
ReplyDeleteWe had to learn that also and the preamble to the Constitution and the declaration of independence.
DeleteAlso back in the day we learned Shakespearean soliloquies from his major plays.
Lots of memorization back then.
The header is from photos I took a while back. I am a terrible photographer because I can't stand still! lol. Glad you think its nice.
