What a fab blog - absolutely L-U-V the pix, pups, other critters, and am JUST beginning to delve into the other corners and plan to poke around much more as time permits (housework, what housework? - LOL!) You are a true Renaissance woman >> I much admire & applaud your exhausting efforts - (I'm tired out just reading, but I'm old and arthritic - haha!)<br /><br />Do have to comment on the "died in childbirth" bit. As an 18th c. living historian and AWI re-enactor, we are alert to the "museum myths and Hollywood History" we often hear. We even hear them perpetutated by well-meaning museum docents and tour guides from time to time. The sad state of history education in our schools makes us cry... <br /><br />Although the death rate in childbirth certainly exceeded what we have today, it isn't true that this was a major cause of death. A much larger cause of death was contagious disease and death from injury that we can easily treat nowadays. Infant mortality from childhood diseases skewed the longevity stats so that the average age was quite low giving the false impression that "everyone died by 35." Though they led hard lives, were much older looking because of all the sun/outdoor work, there certainly were plenty of older folks. John Adams died at 90, Ben Franklin at 84! Anyway, that's off track. <br /><br />God bless you and yer li'l farm. I'm a big dog lover myself.

She also wore high heels. Go figure. When she went out to feed the pigs she would put on those clear rubber booty things over her heels - the ones with the little button thingie on the side.

I sure did "tick" him off! <BR/><BR/>I'm from the Groff family of Lancaster County, PA (we're PA Dutch). I mostly wear the long skirts to work in around the ranch/farm here. I do prefer them to pants which seem binding, scratchy, and just plain irritating. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, next time you DO get a sting, wash with warm water and soap (some of the pain will leave) then put on a thick mixture of baking soda & vinegar and let it dry. <BR/><BR/>And remember, wasps keep their stingers with them--Bees stick their stingers in you and once they lose their stingers (usually 1 sting), they die. <BR/><BR/>Happy Trails from the Rocky Mountains!<BR/><BR/>Sunny<BR/>http://sunnysgardengate.spaces.live.com/Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17494828081167385652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1158931723218811392006-09-22T08:28:00.000-05:002006-09-22T08:28:00.000-05:00God, I almost died from that!!God, I almost died from that!!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17610332524007401830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1154988413307894262006-08-07T17:06:00.000-05:002006-08-07T17:06:00.000-05:00Maybe you were really channeling Laura Ingalls Wil...Maybe you were really channeling Laura Ingalls Wilder, a fellow Missouri farmgirl?
