Never give a person more power than he can use, for use it he will. --Cotton Mather (1663-1728) Puritan clergyman, writer.

I thought you would love this quote, especially the authors name. Would you post a picture of your Cotton Mather? My favourite cat that I scared half to death that day!! LOL

Such wonderful memories I carry with me from Tennessee...
Early Fall 2003
Lots of Southern Hospitality.
A wonderful adventure for me.
Meeting FReepers full of fun
antique car rides held high on hills
Nights of chatter, and coyote howls
lone train whistles in the night.

And dreams of travels to see the brother
walking down country roads
sharing memories from our childhood
shopping for our supper together
or going out to dinner,
And church on Sunday at 8:00 A.M.
Mother would be proud of him!

Dragon Flies in the air
another visit
with lots of flair
Gifts of glass and sparkling shimmer
a lovely way to end summer
with loving friends and family
Thanks radu, for all you gave to me.

Okie dokie, ms. feather. You asked and you received. Cotton Mather....UPRIGHT! LOL!!

The original Cotton Mather is an ancestor on my Dad's side and I named this sweet kitty after him.

Now I'd better start that roast or hubby will be terribly upset.....and he'll stick his rumbling belly against my ear again. hehe! I'll do my best to get back later. *HUGZ*

Dang it, I was in a hurry earlier and I hate it when this happens....I forgot to thank you for the poem you wrote about your trip. I copied it into a draft so I can print it off. Petey and Aunt Clara will love it, too.

Thank you!
*HUGZ*
