Great of you to make it by. Yeah, that snow was something else. You got it much worse up there where you are. No wonder you're going a little slow. Glad you liked my subject matter today. Eliza's story really is kinda neat. The most amazing thing is what she accomplished after getting kinda a late start. Seems her life didn't really begin until she was almost 40. I'm glad she found love though, being the romantic I am. Yeah, I hear you about sitting still for so long. My rear goes numb too. And here I thought I was the only one! And we won't even discuss the mind-wandering issue! Thanks for the laugh. Hi Phyliss! Great of you to make it by. Yeah, that snow was something else. You got it much worse up there where you are.

It must've been really thrilling racing across the Oklahoma prairie in a rush to get some land. I wonder how many fights broke out that day. Bet there was a bunch.

Since I was in the legal field all of my professional life, I never even came close to being on a jury, although I did get through voir dire once. But, when the judge called me to the bench and introduced me to the plaintiff's attorney who didn't know me, I got dismissed for "cause". Now that I can serve, I'm too old! My rear goes numb and my mind wanders. Enjoy your next jury duty. I had to laugh at Connie’s response.

I love the story. It's interesting what we find when doing regular old research. Absolutely, one of the coolest stories I've heard about for a while. Sure do plan on keeping this story in the back of my mine just in case one of my heroines needs to be strong and sassy. Don't they all? Sorry, I'm so late remarking, but I guess the snow slowed me down. Hugs, P Linda, this is so fascinating. I love the story. It’s interesting what we find when doing regular old research.
