Good morning from Holly and me out for our walk this morning. It's a very cold morning here in Newbridge, -4⁰C according to the car but it's bright and dry. Dawn was glorious!
Sad to report, Holly lost another ball in the River Liffey 🙄.
Have a lovely Friday, stay warm and be kind to each other

Kellogg's launched Pop Tarts on this day in 1964. The product came in four unfrosted flavors: strawberry, blueberry, brown sugar cinnamon, and apple currant.
Pop Tarts shot to instant popularity; the first shipment sold out so quickly that Kellogg’s ran ads apologizing for the empty shelves.

President Abraham Lincoln delivered his "Gettysburg Address" on this day in 1863, at the dedication of the Soldiers National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. His speech, which lasted about two minutes, is considered one of the most famous in American history.

![One of only two confirmed photos of Lincoln (seated in center facing camera) at Gettysburg,[1][2][3] taken about noon on November 19, 1863; some three hours later, Lincoln delivered the famed address:
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zafddu7hlte5wpjsszydrsmk/bafkreihxbnpaq45ggggciro76pfn2bs75k544mdqdivu3xg5fuqrrcccdi@jpeg)
