Yes, I don't know what I would do without a grocery store, though I would make it, because I really don't NEED meat in my diet. I told the story about my mom not talking to my grandmother for a few weeks, because Mom made a pet out of the turkey, and on her way home from school saw my grandmother chop her PET'S head off!!! I can't remember Mom ever eating the turkey? come to think of it. :o) Lynn Barb wrote: LOL Lynn you are a card..

Yes, they are buried near the perimeter of the cemetery; the side toward the main street, I think. Homebound? Another one of those words with almost opposite meanings. home·bound1 (h½m"bound") adj. Heading homeward. [home + bound4.] home·bound2 (h½m"bound") adj. Restricted or confined to home: homebound invalids. [home + bound3.] In this case we can tell by the context that you are restricted. Also, homebound in the first sense has been replaced almost completely by homewardbound. I should think that the latter should also have been replaced by homeridden, as in bedridden; but American Heritage disclaims homeridden. Google lists it three times; so it is not a popular word. I never did have the straight of the cousin _____ removed designation. I know that people with a common grandparent are first cousins; those with a common great grandparent are second cousins; and so on. So, since John and Maria are my 2gps and your 3gps; doesn't that make us 2.5 cousins? }:-) Richard Emlin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen Fox" <karenmfox@verizon.net> To: <padutch-life@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, August 11, 2007 11:21 PM Subject: Re: [PD-LIFE] Achenbach > Richard - Wow!

I have begun reading an historical novel about Abe Lincoln. The author, Richard Slotkin, has written several non-fiction books of an historical nature, so I trust his research. This book is different in that it re-creates Lincoln's growing years rather than his political career and the Civil War era. "."Abe" draws deeply on historical scholarship, but it is not biography. Instead, it is a vivid, persuasive re-creation of the life as young Lincoln might have lived it, and of the people, scenes, and influences that helped produce the character and conscience of the man often called the greatest of all Americans." This book is 450 pages in length and I have only begun reading it, and three other books rest on my night stand that I have begun. Sometimes Sherlock Holmes beckons to me, at other times history is my interest.much like using the remote, huh? If you want to be next in line in our PAD Reading Club, let me know and I'll send this book to you. For those of you new to this list, we offer books to fellow members and send them without cost. When you have finished the book, ask who was next on the reading list and send it media rate (less expensive). Gosh, it is gorgeous outside today. I have to bathe the dogs, do some lawn work, begin the laundry.and read under the maple tree. Life is good. Smiles, Anna * P.S. Fort Wayne, Indiana, has a Lincoln museum which is a must-see for history buffs. Lincoln Life Ins. was begun in the late 1800s. They contacted Robert Lincoln asking permission to use his father's likeness and name for their company and he permitted the usage. They began assembling Lincoln memorabilia and later opened a museum in their corporate offices, if I recall correctly. The museum outgrew the facility so they constructed a building elsewhere in Fort Wayne. I have been to the corporate location and plan to go to the new site. Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan, has Lincoln's chair and some other items from his assassination. Also, the Fort Wayne library is a genealogical site and one that recently reopened as a much enlarged facility. Check out their websites: <http://www.thelincolnmuseum.org/> www.thelincolnmuseum.org and www.acpl.lib.in.us/genealogy/index.html and www.hfmgv.org <http://www.hfmgv.org/> . * o o

I'm sure they enjoy that!!! When I lived in Mohnton, we would go to an out of the way place to buy our flowers. Every year we would find a large turtle upside down in the middle of the road, stop the car, get out and upright it over at the side where it was headed. But, there were some that didn't make it without getting hit. They are so cute, I couldn't eat one. But, then again, cows are cute, and pigs are cute and I can eat that meat, only if it's from the store :o) and I don't know it's parents :o) Lynn Barb wrote: I have a shell of a small one that I use for my daycare.

I put it there to get it out of the way, and when I noticed they like to lay there, next to the mirror, I put a small rug there, for them to lay on. Our Morris does the same thing, kneading, then laying down all content. Whiskers just needs to be near when SHE wants to be paid attention to. Morris did that dropping and rolling onto his back, for his snacks when he was a stray. One time he was at the edge of the porch, and rolled right off into the bushes. He immediately jumped back up onto the porch again, with a look of "what just happened!!!!!" When he disappeared for 9 months, right after we got his shots, before we were going to bring him into the house, I was so heartbroken!!!! I went to the shelters, to see if anyone turned him in. I looked all over Columbia, hoping to get a glimps of him, and nothing. In fact, he just disappeared like that, after living outside in the shelter I built for him at the window, where he just sat looking in at me working at my computer. I saw him on one of the coldest nights of the whole year, and said to Mike, we HAVE to bring him in. After his 9 month disappearing act, I was taking the trash out, on one of the coldest nights of the next year, and I saw something drop and roll in front of me, and I almost stepped on whatever it was. It was so dark, it took a while for my eyes to adjust_IT WAS MORRIS!!!!!!!!! I dropped the trash, and picked him up. I came into the house and told Mike to take him upstairs and give him a GOOD bath, he wasn't going out anymore!!!! He was our in! side cat!! Right before that we had taken in Whiskers, and her 5 kittens, and Lindsey, that very night, brought home Lexus from Harrisburg. Talk about a full house of pets!!! We had 12 gold fish, one as big as a carp, a dwarf bunny, two cats, a dog, and I can't even remember all the other pets at that time, I would have to look for a note somewhere that names them all. Our pets always last a long, long time_and I'm so glad, because when one dies, it's like losing a family member for sure. They surely do capture your heart, and you capture their hearts. They love UNCONDITIONALLY. I remember our Stubby, who we rescued from the Humane League after someone took him from our neighborhood, and placed him there. There were 5 people who cared for him, feeding him, making sure he was inside on cold nights. He was a stray but not a stray. The person who would have taken him in, after he wound up at the Humane League, was on her way to New York, and couldn't go get him. I went to get him for her, but when I signed the papers, it said that you weren't allowed to give the animal to anyone, that the animal was your responsibility, and was to be kept in your house. So, STUBBY became our first of the strays we took in to give a good home to. Stubby talked, too. He said "I love you" "Mom" "No" (when you gave him a bath), "Where are you?" (if you went into the bathroom and closed the door). I told you of the story of the high school student who brought his friend down here to hear Stubby talk. He had heard him talk many times, because he use to come down here to watch me make up routines for the girls in the band front. Wouldn't you know it, when he brought his friend down to hear Stubby, he would say a word the whole time. The guys even ate dinner with us, waiting on Stubby to say something. When they left, Stubby started talking up a storm. Well, have to get some rest. Good night all. Lynn Richard Emlin Reed wrote: I believe that animals are capable of loving. We love them and they feel so wanted and safe that there must be some kind of reciprocal emotion. Whatever it may be, when I am lying on the sofa watching tv, Lilliput jumps up and kneads me for half a minute or so (cats need to knead, }:-)), then nestles down beside me, sometimes for hours. And,at bedtime, she jumps up on the bed every night, and snuggles down, sometimes beside me, sometimes beside my wife. She likes to be with us; isn't that what love is! Another thing - when she wants our attention, she will come up to us, look up, tuck her shoulder under toward the floor, and drop on her side. We call it her shoulder roll. Cute? You bet! A pyschologist might call it an act of submission; we call it love. I forgot to mention that when Angel jumped up on the bureau for her nightly mirror routine, she always sat on my wife's jewlry box. I can see her still, staring intently into that mirror. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to PADUTCH-LIFE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.

The rest I leave in larger pieces and cut it as I decide right before the meal..Growing up we sliced the pieces thin and fried it in butter with some onion.. GEE I'm getting hungry already...

Actually, most of my direct ancestors lived on farms--I haven't found any miners.? Most of them were farmers or lumbermen or had jobs associated with the steel industry without actually working in the mill.? One of my ggg-grandfathers, for example, was the caretaker at one of the dams.? Most of the?mining towns were located more in the central and northern parts of the county. --Debra -----Original Message----- From: lllorensen@sbcglobal.net To: padutch-life@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, 12 Aug 2007 9:29 am Subject: Re: [PD-LIFE] Lower Yoder Twp Yes me to..I'd love to see just where our family lived must have been small mining towns. ----- Original Message ----- From: <dorner1065@aol.com> To: <padutch-life@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2007 8:16 AM Subject: Re: [PD-LIFE] Lower Yoder Twp > No, unfortunately I don't have any pictures of Tanneryville, but I wish I > did.?
