Evening Cuzzzzzzz! I received some pages from a friend with references to the Frey family. As soon as I can get my act together (giggle) I'll forward them to you.

That's one nice thing about having family ties here Calpernia. She and WVNan are two of the nicest Cuzzzzzin's a girl could ask for! My role models!

Well, this is the DC Chapter's logo; one day we may get it made into a "battle" flag...

[The Mayor]

Look what I found.

'Evening, dixie!

[Calpernia]

So you gang up on the Yankee :)

***calls in NJ Minutemen...LadyX and Dixie Sass have declared war on the misspelling Yankees :)

[Calpernia]

Now that would be a great flag! Much better the Freezie's bra strung up the flag pole ;)

[Calpernia]

Ahh Russ! Now I have to go powder my nose :)

[LadyX]

Nice graphic, Rus...saw the Falls in November 1953, when it was v-e-r-y icy cold under the spray..:))

Went on into Canada, and on the way back, retrieving our car registration from the border guard, he stuck his head in my passenger window to ask "Where were you born?"

My mind went totally blank under the unexpectedness of it!
Hemmed and hawed and stuttered out finally, 'Miami, Florida."
Thank goodness he laughed....

I know what you are talking about when it comes to cold weather. Although Southeastern Pa. gets a couple months of the stuff it is usually fairly mild. We talked about buying two retirement homes, one in a college town in Florida where we would spend our winter months and another in a Pocono college town where we'd spend summer and fall. We figured we'd have good libraries and be able to sit in on classes. But we decided to stick with our friends and toast marshmellows in the fireplace in the winter.

Now what does gallons of rushing water have to do with your nose?

Oh silly me, never mind LOL

[LadyX]

Never fear, Kuzzin...I grew up with a .22 rifle for killing snakes and wildcats in Florida.
Still have the Alaska hunting license I had hunting up the Steese Highway above the Arctic Circle and down by Mt. McKinley...outshot the fellas (all in Security Police and expert shots, mind you) when they were trying out Smitty's nice little ole .400 H&H Magnum that he had for downing grizzlies or elephants, whichever came first.

While they all winced with the kick in the shoulder, Analytical Woman here observed they held their shoulder taut against the blow.
I therefore compensated by simultaneously pulling back my shoulder as I pulled the trigger, 'going with the flow.'
It honestly did not hurt me at all.

They never did forgive me for that, and the fact I shot closer to the bullseye than any of them...:))

[The Mayor]

I love it when there is an ice arch formed out of the mist.

From what I hear back in the 1800's it use to freeze across and they had a walkway and little booths to buy things.

My wife and I are going to Toronto this weekend.

[Calpernia]

>>>Alaska hunting license

Oh yeah? Well I have a fishing license!
