Hardtack is thick cracker made of flour, water, and sometimes salt. When properly stored, it will last for years.

The things I learn around here. :^)

We had snow flurries. Not even enough snow to clean off a windshield. But man, was that wind bitter.

I haven't heard the term "wind chill" in a weather forecast for years. :-)

LOL....I know I'll never fully catch up tonight but am I ever glad I saw this!!!! Thanks for the ping, snippy!
And thanks for posting the link to the account of the Rhea County Girls' Company, SCDogPapa.

Those are kind of women I admire....full of spunk! I wonder what things they'd accomplish in these days and times.

I agree with the remark at the end that it's a shame they never held their own reunion.

(We were just in Chattanooga this afternoon....the city, not that nasty-sounding boat. hehe)
