Last Memorial Day we had plans to stay at a B&B with family. We'd checked it out ahead of time, and discovered that they gave each room a presidential theme. Which room would we have .... Jefferson? Lincoln? Washington?We arrived to check in and the innkeeper started to settle everyone into their rooms. As she got to us she said, "And I've just opened a new room that you'll stay in - the Abigail Adams room."
It was a delightful room, and such a fun reminder that even though things seem silent, it is not forgotten.
And the reason the room was named after Abigail instead of her husband, John Adams? In a letter from 1776 in the early days of independence, she had written " I desire you would remember the ladies . . ." in the laws for this new nation.
