Hi Melissa D,

It’s great seeing you here. It’s been a while. Hope things are going well for you and your family.

Doing surveys wouldn’t be my choice of occupations but it could be worse I suppose. Just proves that we all do things we’d rather not do in certain instances. We just bite the bullet and forge ahead and pray we don’t have to do it long.

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s. Mine was just great.

Hi Caffey,

Wow, it’s great to hear from you! Thanks for stopping by to comment. I’ll send you a private email to catch up.

I’m so sorry you had to sell your grandmother’s jewelry. It broke my heart. That’s irreplaceble. You must’ve indeed been desperate.

Take care of yourself.

Hi Anne Carrole,

Thank you so much for coming over to comment on my blog. Glad you found it interesting. I have these vivid images in my head of wagons of families picking up bones on the prairie. I’m sure it was really hard work. My back aches to think about bending over all day. Yes, mucking out stalls wouldn’t be any better. In fact, it might be worse. It’s really smelly. The things we do to survive. When it comes down to it, I suppose no job is too gross.

Hi Linda!!! Great to read your posts, always! We’ve been through some hard times lately and had to find things we could sell to an antique store. Sometimes its hard to give up things, but it does pay for the heat. We did that last year with a few old jewelry items from my grandmother and didn’t get much for them but it got us set to continue the heat last winter. Interesting in the history you found cuz I remember reading too about something with that when they looked for gold. That some was for to get rich and others to get by. Great reading!

The upcoming anthology looks fab! I loved GIVE ME A TEXAN! I need to get GIVE ME A COWBOY before this new one is out! Congrats Linda! Happy new years too!
