I think all the women had to have some type of adventurous spirit to even agree to go West in a covered wagon pulled by oxen or even the milk cows or horses. I’m not sure that love would have made them put as much effort into the hardships. But they went and they seemed to have made the best of it, no matter what!
One of my nieces from Ogden, UT is coming through here tomorrow, and asked if she could stop and see me. OF COURSE YOU CAN!!!! LOL! What a surprise! She is the mother of that sweet little Molly who passed away almost two years ago of Leukemia.
They will be here long after my bed time, but I will attempt to be civilized, anyway. She played the pipes at her grandmother’s graveside services four years ago. And she has that twisted sense of humor that runs in my family... ;o]
That will be nice for you, even if it’s a schedule change. Maybe you can have a nap!
I borrowed a book from the church library this morning about a woman, Catherine Spalding, who started a religious order dedicated to girls’ education in Kentucky in the early 19th century. She was only 19 when she opened her first school!
