Aggie Dad's grandfather's ship was supposed to land in Galveston (he immigrated from Switzerland) but they were diverted to New Orleans instead by a little storm in Galveston...Sept. 1900!
my my! funny how these connections happen...
By the way, my new dishwasher (I had to get rid of the old one, because dry cycle was not working properly and was filling up with mold, and when the mold got to be too much (particularly when it started collecting on the dirty plates), I just had to say enought is enough), is so cool. It has two drawers, which you slide out, each separately operated. And it is so quiet. You can turn it on, and still watch television in the family room which is open to the kitchen, without much problem.
Mine came though when the Galveston area was part of Mexico....That's why we think they entered illegally.
I never figured out whether Nagin was mad because the information was incorrect...or because it came from someone other than himself...
He seemed to act like it was incorrect, but I didn't hear what exactly the other person said that was wrong.
I will say one thing...looking at that Accuweather map that Howlin just put up----if I were him, I would tell everyone to just sit back and not even think of coming back until at least next weekend.---but then again, I have common sense.
Oh man, didn't the runaway bride have Francis the I????
Or was it Grande Baroque?
My best friend in the world has Frances I,,it is a job to polish I imagine. But what a wonderful pattern.
I love those drawer dishwashers. And I have a new one that is so quiet I cannot tell it is on.
Have you seen the drawer refrigerators, separate from the big unit. For veggies, etc. I am dying to have one of them.
No, but my four year old frig has air leaking into the feezer, and icing up. I will have to get rid of it. How annoying. I will check it out.
Chips the rims I guess. Another of Mother's rules. But others have told me the same thing.
I'm sorry that I don't have the facility to make this an unchanging image, instead of this beautiful enhanced IR pic of Rita at landfall --- sorry about that --- perhaps someone will take the trouble to store this beautiful picture on some more permanent website, and provide us all with that link.
Is the drawer below the frig, with the freezer to the left, so it has 3 doors?
My mother in law had Candlelight from Towle and it is sitting in my office waiting to go to my daughter. I have to send some of it off for repair but it is beautiful. And if you got it for 250, you got a good deal!
I don't know what the rules for immigration were that early...that would be sometime in the 1820s or 30s. I was under the impression (but never looked it up) that it was open immigration then.
Thanks. Cool. Nite.
Night, folks. My short sleep has caught up with me and I am now sleep typing...until tomorrow, God willing.
G'Night!
Good Missus Howlin! :O)
No,,the drawer I saw was totally separate from the frig, actually in an island just next to a service sink to scrape veggies, etc. It was a free standing drawer put in cabinetry. It was wider than a regular drawer and not so deep. Stainless. But they come with clear doors.
While you are getting stuff, get a wine cooler, they are wonderful and I am lusting for one.
Yes, but really, shouldn't the hurricane lamps be put up after the hurricane? We are talking an Après hurricane occasion after all.
Seriously, that was a masterful post of yours.
