A whole week going in circles, how distressing that must have been. I went in a circle around the Atlanta bypass, wasted an hour or so, and thought that was terrible, but nothing like losing a week.

Must have been staged around your neck of the woods...Good book...Sounds like you got just the kind of rain and snow you needed...We're alright on moisture....but I've heard snow is called Poor Man's fertilizer, so we can use plenty of that...It's supposed to get down to 8 tonight, so it surely won't melt...Good temps coming in, though. We ended up with about 4 or more inches...I didn't even go outside...Hubby shoveled a path to the mailbox, sidewalks...He has to be doing something...

"One afternoon they saw on a hill behind them a Indian . It was dangerous country anyway.They knew it was bad to be observed by a Indian,but there was only one......The next night this Indian was still with them. The following day this Indian came down [into camp].......He couldn't make conversation well, except they understood he wanted a musket.At home he couldn't find any buffalo. They were getting scarce and hard to hunt, and he couldn't get one with his bow and arrow. He needed the gun to shoot the buffalo because his family was hungry and needed the meat. So Casper Rickard gave him a gun and the shot for it........Everyone on the train...." thought he had made a bad mistake and a gun would be turned on them. The Indian went over the hill and was gone, but that night he came back with the musket and only one shot gone. So he handed the gun , So he handed the gun back and said he had gotten a buffalo . Then they went on . That night he was still following them, also the next two days . He told them not to stop at the fort. He said there was no one alive there except the Indians....... He said to go on past the fort. He told them how many days to travel,to go as fast as they could for three days without stopping, to travel from sunup to sundown . So they did what he said. When they got word a few days later, sure enough the fort had been attacked , and everyone was killed . Not all their experiences with Indians were as fortunate . No one in their party was injured, but they did loose some stock. Some were driven off by Indians , and those wounded by arrows were destroyed .Fearing that the arrows might have been poisoned, the men were afraid to butcher the animals and eat the meat . "They passed through Fort Laramie , Wyoming, where they met hostile Indians.They stayed at the fort for a few days until a treaty was made with the Indians." -- Linda Rogers,continued ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Jeannie T., We are just losing our snow up here under the Mogollion Rim. We got around 12 inches in 2 days & then we got more rain. I'm glad the snow stayed on the ground for a bit..because it will soak into the soil & we have been so dry up here for so long, that all our trees, shrubs & all other vegetation needs water. The sun was out for most of the day...so I imagine that we will have just a few patches of snow here & there. It's good for a child to get out & play in the snow. It will tire them out, that's for sure. I know someone was kind enough to explain snow cream on this list..but I'm still curious how one makes it. Probably won't have much use for it this year...but come next year & if we are any where around here, we may. My thoughts right now is if we are able to sell our house, we will either go to Prescott Valley (with is N/E of us) or to the Valley which is south of us. I don't mind the Valley...but it gets so hot down there in the summer & most people leave then. We are not prepared to spend that kind of money to leave for a few months. Our next door neighbors don't like the winters up here, so they go to Phoenix for the winters. I guess they have thought about selling their home..but they like it up here..just not in the winter. Ken is way into his 80's & it's hard to tell with Margaret. Doesn't really matter. I just know that we are going to have to take what we can get. I'm not looking forward to this spring. There are going to be many changes around here. For the time being, I am trying to block them out. I prefer not to worry about things until they happen. Guess you could call me a Pollyanna. ~J in AZ ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 29, 2010 11:15 PM Subject: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] Snow, beautiful snow...... > 'Snow...beautiful snow,' hubby intones as he gazes out the doorway at the > blanket of snow on our yard.....Neither of us wants it, but tomorrow will > take advantage of it and make some snow cream....We have 5 or more inches > and it's still snowing..Luckily the lower edge of TN. is getting snow AND > ice but we just have snow...so far....I called Son and they said Buzz was > crashed...tired of playing in the snow all afternoon...Jeannie T > ____________________________________________________________ > Senior Assisted Living > Put your loved ones in good hands with quality senior assisted living. > Click now! > http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/c?cp=klh6tUz8E9AYuG6J1gfSgAAAJ1CPGLcpVk6nfU7-_QzYU3IqAAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASUQAAAAA= > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message
